From left to right: Kim, Brooke, Keri, Sofia, Melissa, Stephanie, Baby Anna, and Sarah
Okay, I haven't known them since they were 5 years old or anything but I did meet them at their entry point into adulthood...freshmen in college. It has been a wonderful journey to go from being their director/teacher to team leader to simply being their friend/sister in Christ.
They have been out of school for a couple of years now. Three are married, two have kids and one is about to get married.
Kim flew out because this weekend Melissa graduates with her master's from Wheaton. And being the sly one that she is, she decided to throw Melissa a surprise bridal shower with her friends here in Illinois. Stephanie now lives in Deerfield but Sarah and Brooke double whammied the surprise by being surprise guests! Oh you should have seen Melissa's face. Pure shock! But the greatest feeling was pure joy!
Sofia and Selah, I pray that you, too, will be blessed with friendship like these girls. It is their love for Christ that has bonded them and their love for Christ that developed such a deep love for each other.
As always, it was fun catching up with everybody and hearing how God is active in their lives.
See you guys in July!!

It was a fun time! I'm glad we live close to each other :) We should hang out more.
It is encouraging to see that some friendships can stand the test of time and continue to bless you through the years!
What great friendships. And our turn is coming!
