Jonathan is back in school.

For the past few mornings, he has been clinging close to me in the time before the bell rang. His friends were running around playing and getting to know each other again after the long break.

This morning, I pushed Jonathan out of the nest. I told him that I had to leave already and went out of the school compound. In fact I observed him outside the school fence. Left alone, he started to explore the playground and interact with his friends.

Sometimes, if we feel ‘out of our nests’, God could be letting us learn confidence and to grow. But God is not far away.
