#4

It is the night before we take my fourth child to college. I am full of mixed emotions: joy, pride, sadness, excitement. One emotion that is absent is fear. My we always live without fear to what is to come. My we always know the peace that comes from God as we move forward.

Song of the Day

Dedicated to #4 :)

In the Hands of God
Newsboys

We have raised our hopes and our cities high
We have followed fragile dreams
But only One could take the measure of our goals
And we've stumbled over the trials of life
And we've wrestled the unseen
But only One can calm the storm inside our souls

In the hands of God we will fall
Rest for the restless, and the weary
Hope for the sinner
In the hands of God we stand tall
Hands that are mighty to deliver
Giving us freedom

When our strength gave way to the weight of guilt
'Til we strained for every breath
Only One could lift our shame and make us well
And when all is finished and we face
The fearsome power of death
Only One has overcome the gates of hell

You're amazing
You're amazing, You are
And we praise You, Lord
For what Your hands have done

I can't believe the day has come for the Henderson household to be an only-child family. I remember us living at your house and looking forward to our first furlough knowing that Noah would be the only one living at home.
I pray for peace for you and the family. I know Hannah is so excited about the opportunities before her, and I know she has had some great training. :)
We can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks!
