It's here, the moment I have been thinking about for a very long time. The moment when my car if filled with all of my things, and my room is empty. I have prayed that God would prepare my heart for this, and even though it not easy, I know that He has. When I think about my fears, I remember that fear is not of the Lord. When I begin to worry, I remember that worrying is the end of faith.When I think about how inadequate I am, I remember that He is adequate for me. I know that the Lord has equipped me for this moment. I am trusting in His never ending love! As I think about saying good bye to my family, my eyes are filled with tears. The love I have for my family has grow so much over the past 5 months, with all of us being at home. I can't even begin to express to you how much I love Daddy, Mommy, Amber, Chad, Dave, Apryl, Abby, Maggie, and Wynstone :) They are my world, and I love them with all of my heart. As I think about this moment, I take a breath, and praise God for His faithfulness. I praise Him for allowing me to go to college, and for showing me so clearly that this is where He wants me to be. I praise Him for my family, for Ethan, and for all of my wonderful friends. I praise Him for His grace, and I praise Him for His mercy. I praise Him for providing for me, and I praise Him for guiding me. I must always praise Him....We must always praise Him. So get ready...get set...here I go!

Anna~You are so ready for this!! I know it will be challenging and scary-change always is-but it will also be exciting-new friends, new experiences, new room! The Lord is always good and He will only build your faith bigger as you branch out on your own. I cannot wait and am so eager to hear about all that He will do for His Kingdom through you and your beautiful voice! He has given you so many talents...I know you will make an impact on this world! We love you and will be praying for you (and the family!) as you make this transition!~Stephanie.
I can't believe you're actually gone, Anna! College is so exciting, but trust me when I say that there will be many people back home who miss you! Wow, I remember when we were in Awana together...now you've left for Kentucky and I'm heading into my sophomore year of high school. Aahhh, where has the time gone!? Good luck! I am praying for you! :)
