We had a revival and a preacher from California was preaching a powerful message about trading in your ashes for
beauty. He had a bucket of ashes and said quit carrying around what
others did to you and then what you may have
done. He then laid a bunch of roses at the altar and said who's going
to trade in their ashes? I was the first one to go balling like a baby but I didn't care! I picked up my rose and knelt down and gave it all to God! It was life-changing to say the least.
The next morning was my daughter's graduation flight, she had took flight lessons and was ready to take the controls. I presented her with my rose that I got the night before to take with her on this flight. I was beaming and as she took off, I said, "FLY BABY FLY!" 😀 She flew for an hour to another airport and then came back but got to do some maneuvers in the air. My husband was videoing from the backseat, I was safe on the ground LOL!!
She has been taking high school courses this past year, so I'm the mom of a high-schooler now. I can't believe how far we have come - it really does seem like we just started this homeschooling journey not too long ago. Thanks be unto God for His help through the training of our children!
