Be Strong and Courageous

Deuteronomy 31:6  "Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

I recently had the opportunity to meet and photograph a family of four.  They have two young sons who are preparing to go out into the world on their own.  As I worked with their mother to set up a photo shoot at a time when both children would be home and available, I tried to imagine how it must feel to be at her stage of parenting.  Perhaps scary and exciting and relieving all at the same time...  I think what must be reassuring to a parent getting ready to send children out into the world is knowing that God goes with them, wherever they go.
