Grad parties galore

I love grad parties! I feel so honored to be invited by our grads and their families. I've got parties over four weekends and I wouldn't miss one of them. Sure I love the food and the community that is present, but grad parties are part of my saying "goodbye." I know it sounds weird, but it's part of my grieving process. I've been praying for a lot of these students for four years. We've experienced a lot of life together on Sundays, Wednesdays and on trips. Being at the party helps "seal the deal" in my mind and heart that they are moving on. I am so excited to see this class leave their mark of sacrificial love on this planet!
