New Songs and Slimy Pits

It’s been slimy here the past several weeks.  The pit, I mean.  So slimy that I can’t get my footing to lift myself out.  Like the spin cycle on Wipeout. 

I fell in.

But I found the way out.  God’s strong hands.  He grabbed me by the armpits and pulled me out with His superGod arms.  He did it a few days ago as I mourned the end of summer break and the start of a new season of my life.  The one where both of my children go to school all day and I learn how to be a different kind of mom.  He showed me that my youngest starting kindergarten is really not about me.  He reminded me that it’s been His plan all along.  This growing up thing. 

And He started teaching me a new song. 

I like new songs.

That’s why I’m linking up today with Emily for Tuesdays Unwrapped.  Because they’re singing all kinds of beautiful songs over there.
