He’ll be Fine, If…
Saturday, our lives will change (again). It will be time for us to take Turner to Freed-Hardeman University. Being our youngest, this also means that Leah and I will become empty nesters.
As any parent does, we worry. We can think of a million reasons why it could go well and a million more why it could go poorly.
We love FHU and we are blessed to know a large number of faculty and staff there. That certainly helps.
We know a lot of people who live in and around Henderson, so that certainly helps.
Turner already knows his roommate and they have hit it off very well. That is a big help.
But there is something else we have tried to instill in him that will make it go well. And it is something that we have talked about for 18 years. It has to do with college, but it really has to do with life in general.
It does not have to do with getting good grades. It is not a study tip. It is not to call home (although he’d better!).
He’ll be fine, if God is first.
Turner, I know you have done that so well for a long time now, and I pray every single day that, in the next phase of life and then throughout life, you continue to do so.
He’ll be fine, because God is good.
