Victory!

Raine and Simba, Christmas 2015

Raine and her dog Simba
(Christmas 2015)


My very smart daughter has enrolled in college! I’m so proud of her.

Huzzah, huzzah, and thrice huzzah!

Her first day of classes is our first day in Spain. Being as there’s no such thing as a meaningless coincidence in the rhyming poetry of God’s great creation, I suspect that means that this is a great day for new beginnings.

Speaking of new beginnings, she has started to go by a shortened version of her middle name. I’m still getting used to this, but it certainly suits her.

    I love new beginnings! A beautiful way God shows us His love and faithfulness. The timing, definitely providential. I love the name too “Raine”…it fits her, she’s beautiful! Speaking of Faith, just love how everything came together, reading your post..a new beginning….she is preparing her field for rain. God will send the rain in due season, He will deliver (Deuteronomy 11:14)! A future full of hope…Victory indeed! I love it! Congratulations and a shower of blessings to your family.

      Thank you, Aileen!

      “God will send the rain in due season” is one of things that I immediately thought of as well. Praise the Lord in His angels and in His saints!
