Graduation!

Last night was remarkable.

Commencement from Bethlehem College & Seminary. The end of one journey and the beginning of another.

Oh, how much life has happened since Ben started seminary 4 years ago. How many papers written, diapers changed, books read, miles driven, milestones marked, memories made. Late nights, early mornings, long hours, weary eyes, full hearts.

I am so proud of you, love.

You have pressed on along a long journey. You've leaned on grace, fought for faith, romped with our boys even when papers called. You have had an open ear to my requests and concerns, a closed eye to many of my faults and sins, a warm hug at the end of many long days.

I am so glad to be at your side. And gladder still that we are both held by the everlasting arms. May He hold us fast. I love you!

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25
