Finally College Graduates....

Hello from Virginia for the last time!

It is an exciting week here at Liberty University! Tomorrow is finally graduation and I just wanted to write a little note before life at home gets crazy with wedding plans! My parents and several members of Benj's family came down to Liberty to celebrate with us as we graduate tomorrow morning! I will be graduating with a bachelors in Religion/Children's Ministries and Benj will be graduating with a bachelors in Worship/Biblical Studies! We are so thankful that are families and friends are here to share this exciting moment with us and so thankful that God has truly been the One to bless us and give us the strength to carry us through!

Today we spent the day packing, going to practice for graduation, running errands, and spending time with family and friends this evening! Tomorrow morning we will arrive at the school bright and early, there are over 6,000 students graduating tomorrow and it seems unreal! Ben Stein will be our keynote speaker and after the large gathering, we will divided up into different buildings for our department graduations where we receive our diplomas! We are so thankful that God has placed us at this university at just the right time and could not be more excited about where He is about to take us!

After graduation tomorrow, Benj will be staying for a few days and then traveling down with Chip (our lead pastor) and his wife Brittni to move things down to Florida. He will be able to look at a condo for us to rent and we are praying that God will open the doors for us to live there. All the while I will be coming home so that I can begin putting the finishing touches on wedding plans! Benj will fly back after that weekend and continue to work on wedding planning and fund raising! I will be sure to post some pictures as soon as I can of graduation and I am hoping to hear from and see many of you at home soon!

Please continue to pray for Discover Church, Our personal Fund raising, and strength for Benj and I (and our families) as we prepare for the soon approaching wedding!

May God be Glorified in all that we do,
~Steph
