I joined a fellow pastor with his wife and teenage daughter for lunch today. She leaves for college this weekend.
Lots of emotions for me. More for them.
I knew her when she was four years old introducing me to her play area in her bedroom as we visited her parents inquiring about their willingness to come work with us in ministry. Little did I know that the next fourteen years we would watch her grow and blossom into an outstanding young woman.
She is an artist of unquestionable talent, a competitive athlete, an excellent scholar, her high school home-coming queen, and a singer.
I've watched her learn to sing. Musically-gifted parents jump-started her but she has emerged as a special talent.
Her last Sunday here she joined her sister in singing a duet that left us all breathless...
And thankful...that the four year old, now eighteen years old...is off to college, where she will surely continue to grow and blossom.
We'll miss her.
