On the road back home today. What a great week we've had in Minnesota. Without a doubt, hanging with the grandkids, being a part of their lives and celebrating the foundations that are being laid in their future is one of my greatest joys. Payton was among the top 10% of all the kids that made it to the NCFCA Speech & Debate National Finals. This was his first year at competing and we're so proud of him to say the least. I loved what he posted on Instagram: "Wow! What a great time this week! Nationals was a blast and I got to hang out with some of the best people ever! All things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose!!!" I love that! Sincerely, EVERYTHING we encounter -- the wins AND the not-wins are part of God's master plan for our lives. He uses it all to build us into what He's destined for us.
