After a long year - ok, just 9 months - the school days finally ended. What a relieve! I never felt this way, but I'm ready for days without any pressure from homework, roller-coaster grades e teachers thinking they know better.Adaptation is required when we move to a new step, but it doesn't come with a manual, of course. When the whole family needs to adapted themselves to a unexpected situation it is hard and painful. But we did it.Learning that my goals are only mine, makes me realize that it is time to let others have theirs. We can guide them, we can cry together, they need discipline... but this is life. Then why sometimes we see us in the same path from long ago? I have a conclusion myself: because it is a habit and doesn't matter if it is good or not... we are used to walk there.Turning the direction is the real goal here. To follow the Voice whispering to us that makes everything new and possible again. A smile appears to stay in the face and the situations are the same, but the view for the eyes are not. A perspective behind the shadows is revealing itself, making the purpose shine one more time.Very old feelings were healed and more cure is on the way. That's a tremendous assurance from the One who makes this possible every single morning.Our own deceptions mostly are based in unreal expectations. It is happened, but how important is that? Each one of us has talents and be focused on that is a real work. I'm learning... to make decisions I need to leave the old figures in the past. 'Recycling' it's not an option here.I realize that the 'growing years' are faster than we thought... is another form of adaptation. Seeing things from us there - as a mirror - it is really scary until we decide to remember that she has her own story, and everything is different and much better :)The last day of school came and will go very soon. I already missed the first day. I saw a little girl's eyes wide open.. surprises there is no lockers at school and reality there is a bit different than the books said.In the becoming years she'll build new goals, a life with purpose and wonderful character... and I'll be there: struggling, praying, crying, interceding and trying to be a example for her. Not because I can do it, but because I know and I rest in the ONE who can make things... amazing things in us and through us.
