Finally Done… but Just Beginning!!

Ahhh, the satisfaction of completing fourteen years of schooling!!! This past Saturday was a day I’ve been waiting for and dreaming about for many years. And when it had finally come after all that waiting, I couldn’t believe it was here!! Such a hard feeling to describe…
Saturday morning was very busy. We cleaned, prepared, practiced, organized… and enjoyed all of it!! Before people started arriving, Dad and Mom presented me with my diploma… WOW! I know that it is just a credential and doesn’t mean that I’m done learning, but it is a huge milestone and testimony of the Lord’s grace and faithfulness!!
Anyway, friends and family started arriving at 1:45, and the party began! It was a wonderful day of fellowship and visiting with many people we hadn’t seen in a very long time. One of the biggest highlights was having both grandmothers there, which was a big surprise! What a joy!!
I praise the Lord for all He has done for me… for parents who have willingly taught me all these years, for the wonderful “support group” I have in my family, and for the blessing of completing high school. God is so good! Great is His faithfulness!

Congratulations again, Jessi!! It was good to see you all again. We enjoyed celebrating this milestone in your life with your family. It was good to see your relatives and get to talk with them again. We are proud of you and your accomplishments which the Lord has enabled you to make– To God Be the Glory, Great Things He Hath Done!! We wished we could have stayed longer, but the boxes that needed to be moved were calling!! We were able to help our friends finish moving their things from the old house to the new one. God is good!
By the way, we hope you are having lots of fun on your Senior Trip!!

It was nice to be able to meet Darlene’s mom. I know you all enjoyed the few days you were able to have together with her!! It was a very touching moment when she arrived and surprised y’all. I’m very glad she was able to come and share this celebration with you.
