off to college


Where did the time go?
How can my baby girl granddaughter be old enough to move so far away?
I blinked, and she grew up.
I glanced away, and she became a young woman who wants to be a nurse.
She is full of compassion and has a servant's heart...
a perfect recipe for success in that field.

She leaves tomorrow.
Today, she is packing her bins and suitcases and cleaning up her much-loved room.
She's spending time with her parents, her brothers, and her cats.

I'm picking her up in about an hour to ride to the beach.
She's getting a haircut and I'm going to spend that time with her.
We will laugh and talk about fun times, and I'll try not to cry.
She and I have had a bond from the beginning.

The days right before you leave are the hardest.
Once you get on the road, it gets better.
The parting,
the hard goodbyes,
The overwhelming emotions ease as the excitement of arrival sets in.
A new life begins...
new friends,
a transition into independence in a Christian environment
surrounded by people who love God and His Word.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And do not lean unto your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5&6

Shine bright, My Lu!
I'll be praying for you!
