A Grand Daughter on the Brink

   We get the privilege this week, of spending time with our oldest grand daughter. This busy young woman lives pretty far away from us, and so our times together are limited.

                    (Sydney, on the left, with Cady Gray)

   This is an exciting time in her life, but I'm sure, a time of wondering about the future, her future, as she gets ready to begin her senior year in high school, looking forward to college and what it will bring.

   Sydney is a multitalented young lady, smart, pretty, athletic, with a lot going for her. She is personable with a great attitude. I'm sure she has "her days", but she has been raised well and shows it. Her parents have done a great job getting her to this point in her life.

   Her future stretches out before her. There is the final year in high school, the new life in college, and then her life outside of the academic environment. There is, to be sure, a lot of question marks out there for her at this time as to what it will all look like. The decisions that she makes in these days, will shape what she is to become.

   So, as she questions, and as she makes those hard decisions, I just pray that God will keep His hand on her life, that He will keep her safe in her new worlds, that she will find His purpose, and that He will bring people into her life that will help her along that path.

   As our oldest grand daughter gets ready to follow her brother off to college and out into the world may she know the peace and love of her Heavenly Father, who stands ready to help and guide her in all the times of her life.

   And may her grand parents be there to support and love her, too, however we can.

   I can't wait to see how it all works out.
