2 Down. Graduation Fun...

The world moves on and yes, time flies.
Both our boys/men (and lovely daughter-in-law) have graduated from Texas A&M.
We are proud and so very happy for them.



Celebrations these days always include little precious girl snuggles.
And...pizza on this day.   :)

So quickly everyone hits the road. 3 days after graduation our youngest gentle giant has flown off to South America on a mission trip for 6 weeks. His big bro went to Peru this week three years ago on study abroad and mission. God is so good to allow them to experience other cultures and His glorious beauty while speaking the marvelous truth and hope that Jesus brings. It was 28 years ago that I went on a mission trip with Aggies for Christ and it changed my life spiritually and in it's direction. I met the man God has blessed me to love and be loved by on that trip. I am sentimental now as I look back at the footprints of all of our lives. So thankful that Jesus lives in our hearts and minds and that we have been blessed to be His all these years through hard and sweet and all of it. 

We appreciate your prayers for our youngest gentle giant for the next 6 weeks of the summer. Please pray for his spiritual growth and learning to be guided by the leading of God's Spirit living in him. Please also pray for the group and of course their protection but most of all for them to make a lasting impact on the people they meet for Jesus.
