Let the Classes Begin

Alyssa is off to college and her classes begin today. 


She's had a busy weekend of moving into her dorm and freshman orientation.  I haven't heard from her yet, but I'm sure she's had a full schedule and could be tired as she starts the work part of the college experience today!

Here's her new home for the next seven months!


We made her bed first thing!  That's something a mom knows how to do.




It's the little things that make it feel like home.


Here's the Class of 2016.  I'm not exactly sure where Lyssa is in the group, but maybe you can find her.


I'm praying that today is a wonderful beginning to her college experience and that the classes and teachers she faces today bring great excitement for the coming school year.


Lord, today is the beginning of a new school year, and a new phase of life for Lyssa.  Be with her today as she attends new classes, meets new friends, and begins the work of her college education.  Help her to be strong and courageous in her interactions and decisions.  Open her mind to adventures and the great world of wisdom and learning.  I pray, dear Jesus, that this college year is foundational to transforming Alyssa's faith and making her the woman you have planned her to be.  Where there is struggles, fears, or hard decisions, be her refuge and strength.  This is the day you have made and I trust you to be by Alyssa's side.
