A Last First

          I’m feeling a wee bit somber this morning… it is a last first. My last child is going to her first day of college. That just doesn’t even seem possible. Wasn’t it just a couple of days ago I was attending my first day of college classes? (You don’t really have to answer that…) And here it is my youngest having her go at it.

           I’m excited for Kimberly as she begins this new adventure of college. She’s going to meet all kinds of people, learn all kinds of new information, and be challenged to live what she believes. I’m so thankful she has good friends and a great Christian college group she belongs to who will help challenge and encourage her in her walk of faith.

          I’m also (dare I say it?) excited for me, too! As much as it can be a sober realization of how fast life can go by, it is also opens a new door for me, too. This new era means I have the opportunity to do some of the things I’ve been dreaming of doing. My Abba and I have been having some long chats about that… and while I don’t have all the green lights yet, I’m beginning to see some things coming together.

          A last first? Sure. But also a new beginning… pretty exciting times!
