My lovely daughter finished her sophomore year in college this spring and is looking forward to starting her junior year this fall. This summer she is working as a residential assistant (RA) at her college and she indicated to me that she likes the responsibilities of the job. She also stated that she is learning from the challenges that come with this job. She had informed us when she came home for spring break that she would not be coming home this summer. Her father and I supported her decision to stay at college throughout the summer. However, we did not know that this decision would be so hard on the emotions; nevertheless, we still know that we did the right thing in giving her our support.
We know that our daughter is finding her path in life, and experiences such as her summer job will help to enhance her leadership skills. This experience will also help her as she finds her path in life. So, as hard as it is to not have our daughter home for summer we are very proud of her for choosing to work at her college as a summer RA. We can clearly see that our daughter is growing up and is making good choices in life. Therefore, we are thankful to God and to the many people that He has used to positively influenced her.
Today, I pray for my children and for the children of everyone that reads this blog. I pray that they will find their purpose in life and work in that purpose to serve others. May they be a blessing to others and may they receive all the blessings that belong to them from the foundation of the world. This is my prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.
Be Blessed,
Joy
