Tuesday was an emotional day for me. The kind where Jake got home, asked what he could do to help me, offered for me to do a Starbucks run, and I lost it. Tears.
I went to my bed to lay down. Moments later I hear Sawyer come inside crying. I gently called for him to come to me. He crawled into bed with me and we talked about what was bothering us.
He told me he broke something outside. It was an accident and the item is of no real value but he was emotionally distraught over it. We talked some more. He asked me what was wrong. I shared my heart transparently with him, telling him I feel like a failure sometimes, like I'm not good enough in so many ways, that I miss my best friend..
His response is prophetic.
He looks at me through watery eyes and with tear tracked cheeks. He says "Mom, you know what God wants for you?" I said, "No, Sawyer, what do you think God wants for me?" He replied, "Less despair, Mom."
Jaw. Floor.
I don't know why I was blessed with such an angel but I am forever grateful to the Creator. I cannot think of Sawyer's words without getting emotional. It is in moments like the one above that I believe God still speaks to us.
