Senior Sunday

Today at church was Senior Sunday. We have tables set up for the graduating seniors. They decorate a poster board with pictures and we have snacks. Our Youth Minister gave the lesson on Graduating from High School, but not your FAITH!
This really made me think.......8 years ago this was me and now I have 2 precious children that are on the count down. SCAREY! We had 2 amazing Seniors graduating. I am so proud of them. Long story short, Micah and I were invited to the Senior Blessing dinner for them tonight. Everyone goes around and tells a story and or gives their blessing as they move on with their lives. As everyone spoke my mind was going 90 to nothing. I just remember being so happy, but so scared. Both seniors impress me with their faith. They are always letting their light shine for the Lord. Micah and I always talk about how hard it is in the real world. Honestly though I received such meaningful advise. The parents talked about that graduating and going off to college is what they had raised them for. To succeed!!!! I thought this was a fantastic way to look at it. Also, how you want your children to build their own faith so that they are ready to be on their own....Wow! Such excellent advise. We can't do it for them forever. It is a team effort. Keep your family in line together to make it work. This may seemed so rambled, but it was such a great night and I am so glad to be a part of their lives. Good Luck......Brittany & Patrick!
