I attended a wedding this past weekend. It was awesome. I so enjoyed watching the young people celebrate love. It seemed to me that everyone was their authentic selves this one day. It was just fun.
We watched this young man grow up from the age of 10. He's a fine young man with a beautiful wife now.
Watching him with his wife warmed my heart. He had such a look of adoration for her. Whatever she wanted for this day, he made it his number one mission to make sure she had it.
I want my son to find his person. I want him to recognize her as his wife when she walks into the room. I want him to fall in love with the beautiful woman who was made just for him. I've prayed for this from the day he entered into this world.
My heart aches because I want this for my son so badly. However, I now know it doesn't matter what I want. If this is not what he wants for himself, it will not happen. I have to mourn my wants for him to allow what he wants for himself to flourish.
I continue to pray for him, but now I just pray for the Lord's will be done in his life.
It's hard to accept not having any control in his life.
I'm not the first, nor will I be the last to cross this bridge.
