Auntie Red (Emma) after giving such a great trunk party. Everything was wonderful. The food, the fellowship, everything.
After clean up, a little picture taking!
Mom, dad and daughter. I can't believe we have a college student!
This is the room "after" the transformation. Their room looked really nice. I think both families did well. What you didn't see was us behind the scenes wiping down surfaces and pulling out everything.
I pray their stay is great since they will be living here for a while.
We went to church on Sunday. We visited a Church of God in DC. As a parent I wanted to help make sure my daughter had a good start finding a church in DC that she could call home.
That middle child of mine is always making bunny ears over someone's head. I've got to remind her those don't always work well in every picture.
The roommates! We were at the reception for those that had received scholarships. That in itself was truly a blessing from God!
This is one of the buildings on campus.
It was a tearful goodbye. It was hard to say goodbye, so I just said, see you later.
I am most proud of this young lady. One day she was a small buddle that I came home with and didn't have a clue what to do with. I prayed and asked God to help me be the right kind of mother and to show her what it means to love the Lord. I didn't always know if I was doing it right, but I put my faith in God to do through me what needed to be done. I still don't know if I've done this mother thing right, but this one thing I am sure of, God has done a great job through me in the work he has done in my child. I hope she doesn't mind but I want to share something she gave me the other day. She gave a parent the greatest gift you can have, praise. I felt like the Proverbs 31 woman. She said that she was grateful for what we invested in her. Not just money, but our spiritual deposit. And the way she would show it was to live a life that would honor that deposit. Can you ask for a greater gift? No. So while we may be a little sad we don't see her everyday, we are overjoyed with knowing that God has a path for her and we pass the baton so that she can continue the race that we started for her.
LOVE YOU JAJA
