Today is one of the 2 days a week where I'm car-less. Emma takes one car off to college and then high school. Annie drops me off at work and then takes the van down to Salisbury for volleyball. So far, Emma has been able to fetch me from work, but its been a close call since she sometimes squeezes me in between school and a volleyball game. It's not really that big a deal since I'm only about a mile from home. But I'm an American darn it! I NEED to have a car sitting in the parking lot all day, un-used, to feel secure! I'd get sweaty if I had to walk home and dinner would be late! What if it rains? What if it snows? What if its really really cold and I can't find my mittens and there are no pockets in the particular coat I've pulled from my All American closet that morning in which there are at least 8 others to choose from?
~Yeah... isn't God so very, very wise to take my car away from me?
The Lord is great and worthy of our praise; no one can understand how great He is. Psalm 145:3

About Me
- kibbe
- I'm a 46 year old mother who homeschools one, watches another homeschool herself and sends a third off to the dear little school on the other side of town. I'm a mom trying to come to terms that two of my offspring will be leaving this home and heading out sooner than I can grasp in my heart. I'm a mom who is trying to transition to that fact by slowly letting out the apron strings that bind them to me.

It is interesting what we begin to think is "normal" or "needed" or "expected." I love the comment of the all-American closet: not just what's IN our closets! Here, the whole concept of a built-in closet is totally missing!

It is funny how comforting a car can be just sitting outside. It is like freedom. heh. I never thought about it before. But it is so true. I love your blog!
