A Week Worth Celebrating
This is a week full of joy and celebration!
We began the week gathering with our church family to witness the baptism of 8 believers desiring to declare their walk with the Lord before their community, our church. My two youngest daughters were among those who took this important step in their christian life. It made my heart smile to see the joy on the faces of my girls as the people who love them and have come along side them in this journey shared words of encouragement and scripture verses to plant in their hearts. I'm grateful for these people who are living testimonies of God's love and faithfulness in our lives and that they are sharing their lives and love with my family.
Some of us are celebrating the beginning of our summer break, while others are pushing through the last throes of papers and finals before the end of the term....counting down days and hours until they cross they finish line. I'm cheering them on!
We will close out the week on Saturday celebrating with our oldest daughter as she graduates from Western Oregon University. She'll wear her red robe and cap with her white honors cord around her neck. We will be so proud of her achievements and excited for her future studies in Toronto next fall. But we will try not to think about this ushering in the end of her days at home.
And I will try to not cry, because this is the week to c.e.l.e.b.r.a.t.e.
