Thanks, God!

I picked Laura up from Mines today and brought her home for a night. All of my chicks are in the nest and it's such a lovely feeling! We don't see a lot of Laura, so we need to make sure our time with her is "quality" since we don't get "quantity." A lot of my friends talk of how they just cry when their kids go to college, but I have to say that hasn't been the case with us. Laura is so happy at school and loves the challenges she faces daily. If she were a basket case every time we dropped her off, maybe I would be, too. But I guess we've done something right, because she loves it there. Her freshman year required a lot of adjustments, but with summer school and part of her second year behind her she's adapted beautifully. And who would have thought at an engineering school she'd have a ton of Christian friends?!! I love God's sense of humor. She has amazing friends and they really lift each other up in so many ways. She has an incredible church family, and most of the RA's she works with in the dorm are Christ followers, too. Who'd a thunk?!! I'm learning that even when my prayers are small, God's provision is HUGE. He loves Laura even more than I do. Of course He's going to watch out for her! Thanks, God.
