I had a great weekend!!! I worked all day Saturday....but I was working for ME!!! I spent a little time at my rental property with my maintenance guy. He's awesome!!! Then I did ( mostly watched) some yard work. Quentin cut the grass, his uncle trimmed some hedges, and I cleared an cleaned the side of the house of random leaves, sticks, and twigs.

On Sunday, Clarke and I attended the Psi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.'s Echoes of Excellence Awards Luncheon. Clarke was the recipient of a scholarship from the lovely ladies this year. I am so proud of her. I could fill this blog everyday with her accomplishments, but Jeremiah tells us but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. (9:24 NIV) so enough of that. But she is on her way to Northwestern University with 82% of her tuition paid for via Northwestern grants. So my heart was proud and my eyes were wet as I watched my baby accept her award. More importantly, I began to realize that she will soon be gone - she will be under her own roof (hopefully not doing the things that I told her that she could do once she got her own roof!!!) But God is a good God. He's brought her such a mighty long way. So this post is dedicated to my oldest child - Clarke Ella Humphrey. Pray for her as she spreads her wings, and pray for me as I struggle to let her go!!!!
