Missing Hailey!!

We have been missing Hailey very much since she left on Thursday! I am so thankful for the time we were able to spend with her and for the beautiful young woman she has become. God is certainly shaping and molding her into a wonderful person, filled with wisdom beyond her years and such a gentle and sweet spirit! Having her here was like having a constant ray of sunlight shining through the window-a constant blessing. It is so neat and encouraging to see how Hailey has matured in these last years and how her relationship with God has deepened so much. It is so neat to see Him reflected in her. I have no doubt that God has great and special plans for her life. Our time with her ended just way too fast, but I pray that this next stage for her will be filled with purpose and blessing and that she will be filled more and more with the Spirit of God! I pray that He will use her to speak truth into the lives of her college-mates and that her life would be a sweet fragrance of His presence to those around her just as it was this summer here for me. I know she has some transitions ahead of her, but I know that God will be faithful to lead her and give her grace through it all! Hailey, I love you so much my dear and am so thankful to have a sister as beautiful, inside and out, as you are!
