home for the summer

Well, Cait's home for the summer... and we couldn't be more thrilled! God blessed her with a safe trip, and she got in about 8:30 last night... finals are over, as are her first two college semesters, and there is a certain 'relieved' feeling about her.

Wow, it literally seems like yesterday we were leaving her, crying in the parking lot of her dorm before starting the longest of 9 hour trips from Nebraska to Arkansas... (cue the string music)

And now it's over. As I wrote back then, it was hard. and we imagined it would go by in a flash... and, boy, did it ever!

new chapters in her story have been written, and even newer ones are waiting to be started...

We remain wide-eyed about all her possibilities, and unbelievably optimistic about what God has in store...

And, as God would have it, just as she has decided to make Harding her home for her remaining college career, He has presented a new opportunity to her.... a coach called from Williams Baptist College and needs a post player for her basketball team, and has asked Caitlin to come visit the campus to check it out... wow!

oh, well, that's what keeps it interesting... I'm just along for the ride! and learning to relish it...

Blessings!

Wow!
God is always opening doors! Our experience with Williams Baptist(years ago with Josh) was not the most positive for Christian atmosphere outside the classroom, so choose carefully! Of course you can find good and bad at any college, and it was a long time ago.
It is so awesome that she has this opportunity to play ball - if that is what she wants to do. She is certainly talented, in many ways! I am glad you have her home for the summer! Mine should arrive in 7 days, not that I am counting!
thanks for sharing!
