Journey

On June 13, 2008 Ryan embarked on a journey of obtaining a Doctorate of Education Administration from Texas A&M. I look at this picture and can't believe all of the changes our family has gone through since this day, but Ryan remained determined to finish his doctoral course work. He was extremely; faithful, focused, and obedient to the hard and long task of writing his dissertation. 
Tomorrow afternoon, Ryan is set to defend his Dissertation at Texas A&M. That is such a big moment and opportunity for him, I am so proud and happy for him. I am actually going to go with him tomorrow for support and encouragement, but will not be sitting in the room during his defense. I will be pacing the campus, or maybe I will bring my tennis shoes and go for run. ;)
 As one of my close Aggie friends told me today, Wonderful things happen in Aggieland. I love you, Ryan. WHOOP!!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
