I’ve seen it all my life. I am the second child of four.
She cries when we get it right. She cries when we get it wrong. She cried when I graduated from college just a few weeks ago. It was a bigger deal for her than for me. I know this is because I have dyslexia and A.D.H.D. and my mom has spent years now, teaching me and praying for me so that I could get to that day.
But what makes her cry the most, is seeing her children walk in obedience to God (John 14:15).
So, I know that on July 3rd when the Q Squad assembles together in Atlanta, she will cry (Psalm 126:5).
It’s not because she is sad. It’s not because I am going. It’s because she knows that I am not really hers (Proverbs 22:6). I belong to God (Romans 8:15). But releasing what is not yours once again to the One who loves us most is hard (1 John 4:19, Matthew 10:37, John 12:25, Revelation 12:11).
So, please pray for all the moms of the World Racers who are releasing their children once again to a new adventure. It is their act of worship, even when mama cries…
