Love boxed up.
On my way into my office yesterday morning, I saw the company mailman carrying a striped box that looked adorable. I jokingly told him that I wished he was bringing the box to me and he informed me that he was actually doing that very thing!
I opened the box as soon as I got into my office but, after looking at the first two pages of it, I decided to grab my video camera and capture the moment for you. Well, not for YOU, actually. It’s more for my college girls, so they can see how much I loved it when I first saw the pages, especially since they’re scattered across the United States right now. But, as they watch, so can you.
Also? Please ignore the part around 4:05 where I begin crying.
Starlite college girls? I love you.

I am so proud of these girls for showering you with love after all that you have poured into their lives. In this scrapbook you will always have a tangible reminder from God that Starlite did make a difference. I know you will cherish this forever.

All I can say is that I’m glad I don’t have any mascara on today. WOW. Amy Beth, what a treasure! And the amazing thing is that little scrapbook only represents a tiny little chapter of your life. He is still writing your story and the best is yet to come. I’m just glad I get to read about it on your pink polka dot blog!!

That was really cool, I am so glad they did that for you. I am glad they were able to touch your heart a little after you did so much to touch theirs.

What an incredible gift! It’s SO clear the impact you’ve had on them, and then to think about all the other girls you had the opportunity to love on through Starlite! Wow! You deserve every one of those words.
