Graduation Is Done!!
They said it would be true, and it truly is. The time has passed by like a whirlwind and I cannot believe that my firstborn is taking her senior trip this week. Graduation for our Tabitha happened last night. As I type this, she is in Columbia, SC headed for the beach. This is the first time in her life to take a trip without any family for this length of distance and time. I feel as though a bird is flying from our nest.
As a parent, you wonder if all the years of talking, disciplining, and praying will "take." Tabitha is a good girl, but I also know the temptations of an evil society. I know that the adversary is lurking about her, but thanks be to God that, "greater is He that is in us that he that is in the world."
Thanks for your prayers for her and us as we begin a new chapter in her life with her. Thanks too for understanding me not blogging for the past little while. My life has been consumed with her graduation and the events leading up to last Friday night. For those of you in our Creekside family that read this and my family as well, I thank you for supporting her as you have. You will never know the gratitude in our hearts for you. Thanks to God in heaven for loving us in spite of our flaws and for placing us in families.
SIDENOTE: Sunday, May 28, would have been dad's 68th birthday. It will be a tough day for us, especially mom. Please keep her in your prayers.

My Dad died in January. We will have our first Christmas this year without him. Be sure I will keep you in prayers.
My home community is Maud out in Colbert County. Don't know if you've ever been there, but it's beautiful country.
I will be going through next year what you went through this year with your daughter. Today as Whitney was helping me do a little fence work in our back yard, I was thinking how grown up she is and how soon it will be for her to move to the next level.
I hope you daughter has a great time in SC and gets back safely.
Peace.

Yes Steve, I have been to Maud. I did a week's VBS at the church for their teens a long time ago. It really is beautiful country.

Congratulations to you and Ellen and to Tabitha. It takes everyone to get a child thru school I believe. At least it is in our house. You have raised a very beautiful daughter both inside and out and you should be very proud. I believe you can rest assured that she will make the right choices. Tabitha is a very special young lady.
Oh, and Meowmix--I went to high school in Lexington with a bunch of Cottrell's. Don't know a Pam but she would have been quite a bit older than me. Do you remember if she had younger siblings?
Love to all!
Laura

The only Cottrell I know is Lewis. He leads worship at Macedonia in Florence. Don't know if he is any kin or not. Sorry.
