Ordinary Days #25: Journey Mercies

 May God send his Angel

   before you. (Genesis 24:7)

Priscilla is on her way to Baylor University in Waco, TX. She’s driving her car down Interstate 25 for some 13hrs filled to the brim with her stuff, while Brandon follows behind. Rachel flies down tonight so Mom and Dad can be with her tomorrow morning for that hand-off into a new world. I’ve been on both ends of the hand-off—as a professor welcoming freshmen students with their parents checking me out and wondering about the whole thing. And, as a parent dropping off our children as they began their college adventure. There’s something precious about the hand-off that causes me to tear-up.
