Galveston With My Girl

Home » Family » Galveston With My Girl

In: Family on: June 2, 2016

My daughter and I had a lovely time in Galveston last week. We found her an apartment, walked on the beach, spent some time in the historic district and ate some great food. We also enjoyed our down time in a cute little garage apartment we found through Airbnb.

I think we both left relieved that she will have a much easier transition when she moves in July than when she arrived in Philadelphia two years ago. Galveston, after all, is Texas. The island is small and easy to learn. By our second day there we didn’t even need our GPS much. And UTMB is very inviting. I could imagine her there the moment I set foot on campus.

She’s grown up a lot in the past two years. Now, Master’s degree in hand, she’ll move into the next phase of her education–the one that will end with a Dr. in front of her name. I’m so proud, not only of all she has accomplished, but of the woman she’s become. A gracious answer to many, many prayers by my God who does immeasurably more than I can ask or think.

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
