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.
