Blessing 19 - Ashley Goes to Camp

I can hardly believe that my little girl is not quite so little anymore. Today was Ashely's first time to discover what Summer Camp will be like for her. She packed her bags without any help from me. She willingly carried her own things on the bus. She is becoming who I have always prayed for...a young lady who will passionately follow after God's heart and to develop her own "back bone" in this world. I have to admit that as I was quietly taking this picture of her from afar, I was almost in tears that she did not need "Mom" to walk with her this time. She walked on that bus so excitedly! How fast they grow up! How slow we want to let them go.

Have a wonderful and blessed time, Ashley!
Embrace all that God shows you this week.
Love you!

A bus load of promising lives!
"I see a generation...rising up to take their place."
