Children off to College

My daughter Ricketa returned to college a Sophomore this term! She had an excellent 1st year with no trouble, Praise the Lord. She completed a 10 week internship at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. Thank God for such a blessing! Parents, these are the times when "the rubber meets the road". If we have taught them, prayed with them, trained them up in the way they should go, it could possibly tell in this season of their lives. Leaving them in dormotories and apartments with full responsibility of themselves and in the hands of the Lord will be the test of their lives. Our children must understand that the choices they make today will affect their lives forever. Succeeding in school with all of the snares and temptations lurking is tough, but the strong and the wise and the ones who have their hands in God's hand and totally lean and depend upon Him for guidance will make it! School is a short term investment for a lifetime of returns. Do well college students... We're pulling hard for you!
