A little girls lament

Last night Mackenzie, our 9 year old, went to Awanas with a friend at Valley Church.  She had a wonderful time, but came home lamenting.  As a concerned mom, I sought to find out why.  She told me how much she missed Faith. She felt at home there, it was all she had ever known, all her friends were there and that is where she wanted to worship God.  She was fine with sharing her mother on nights and weekends if she would still get to be there in her community. The mother's guilt I'm experiencing is similar to what I felt when I got divorced.  Although I knew it was the right decision, it was so difficult for my kids, and impossible to explain in a way that they would understand.  Sometimes trusting God is difficult.  You go in a direction you believe He is leading you, but it's not without its Red Seas, Egyptians, and plagues, then when you get there you might complain too.  Please pray for Mackenzie and our family through this journey. Thanks.
