After tucking Kyle to bed, I went to our working table to finish my undone task. From there, I could see my son sleeping.
While working for 2 hours straight, I suddenly heard him cry. He must have realized that his dad and I weren’t sleeping beside him (we are co-sleeping). Alex was still at his office at that time, working late at night too. I ran towards Kyle, and immediately, I carried him. He cried harder when he saw his shadow. While pointing at it he said, “ayaw ko yan mommy!” I hugged him tight. His shadow must have scared him. I hushed him good night until he fell asleep again.
As a mom, I do my very best to make my son feel safe. When he’s scared, I make sure to make him feel protected. We also train him to be brave so that when he grows up and by the time his dad and I will no longer be around, he would be courageous enough to face the challenges that would come along.
Yet sometimes, I worry of so many things. Will my husband and I be able to give Kyle good education? Will we be able to provide all his needs? Will we be able to lead him to the right path? But I’m hearing you Lord:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7

Lord, you are telling me not to be anxious about anything.
