Arrows are meant to FLY out of our quivers!

"We don't aim to hold on to our arrows all the way to the target. They're not push-pins, they're meant to fly. Our job is to shape and prepare the arrows so when they are released, they fly straight and true on their own. The time is coming when they will leave our quiver and depart on their life's mission, as we have to prepare then - and ourselves - for that launch."

~ Raising Real Men.......Surviving, Teaching, and Appreciating Boys Written by Hal and Melanie Young

Thanks for saying exactly what I needed to hear. My oldest is moving away in 2 weeks. I woke up this morning in tears, wanting to beg her to stay closer to her momma... but, I know it is time. She is an amazing young woman and God is blessing her life.
