Mother's Day/Graduation Photos


(Above, at Elisabeth's open house) Lizzy led worship for us at WGM for the past three years (and served on the worship team before that). We will miss her God-given gift at leading worship, not to mention her sweet spirit and friendship! We spent two summers with her in Hungary and she was a frequent Ellie sitter. She is going home to upstate New York.

Here we are with Joel. It's hard to believe that when I was in college I watched he and his sisters and now he's graduating from college! Joel served as our cabinet president this past year! We are excited that he's been accepted into the Patterson School at the University of Kentucky!

Jeff & Matt have been involved at WGM since practically their first week on campus as freshmen. They are media nuts and frequently talk "shop" with Nathan discussing the ins and outs of stuff like Avid. The rest is greek to me. These guys have jobs lined up in LA. That's even further away than New York!

Tiana and Teresa round out this bunch of photos (yes, we had TWO sets of twins on our cabinet this year!). We've known of these girls for ages (their older brothers served on Cabinet years ago), but we didn't get to meet them 'til they came to Asbury as freshmen. Seems like we've blinked and they're leaving already! We're excited that Tiana is going to Albania with my mom this summer to apply her business skills in cultivating some retail relationships with store owners in Tirana for the products created by the village girls in Darshen and Vlashaj. Teresa is getting a kiln and pursuing graduate studies in art.

Goodbyes don't get any easier year after year (as someone told me Saturday, it's just a sign that our hearts were designed for heaven!), yet we continue to open our hearts and lives in relationship with a new batch of college friends each fall. We really do have the best "job."
