Well, I spent yesterday at the University of Findlay with Andy as he competed for a four year full scholarship. I am in total awe of that fact that he even earned the opportunity to compete for this award. Many of you know that in his high school class, there was only one (1) girl and yesterday, there were 20 girls and only 2 boys! We were told during his college visit that it is pretty much 4 or 5 gals to each guy. What are the odds?
At any rate, we should know today or tomorrow if he wins this scholarship. And it won't matter to me if he doesn't -- I'm proud of him and his accomplishments. Here's the card I made for him just to let him know how proud I really am.
On the inside, I used a sticker quote that reads, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. Henry David Thoreau"
And of course, I got lost coming home. It's the darned sugar towers -- I am never certain whether I take that exit or not. And I'm supposed to. Thankfully, I was able to call Thom and he could get me home. I'm grateful that he is always able to get me home when I'm lost. The man is a wonder and he always has my back. I think that is just one more reason I love him. He doesn't even get flustered -- he just calmly asks me where I am and then he pulls out his map and tells me how to get home. No yelling or recriminations about how I can get lost going to Findlay -- just "here is what you need to do." And God was working with me yesterday too because I didn't have cell service when I called Thom originally, but for one reason or another, he tried calling me. I couldn't call him, but I could get his call (how weird is THAT!) and after he was able to give me directions, I had no network until I was 20 minutes from home. GOD IS GOOD!
I've got pictures of RAKS I've received to share and I hope to be able to get them posted tomorrow. Sorry I've been MIA, but it should be better now. Having some issues with my hands, but I'm hopeful I can work through them.
In the meantime, have an awesome, God-filled day! See you tomorrow!
