A vision fulfilled

It’s sometimes hard to put into words when a vision is fulfilled. Corey’s high school years were so different than other seniors. When we took a sabbatical in Michigan, many asked, “Will Corey remain in Michigan for his senior year?” OR ” What will you do about that?” OR, most importantly, “Where will he live?”

My answer was the same, ” God will provide.” And He did abundantly. When we first started thinking about a sabbatical, the ideas were endless. Europe, California, New York, and then East Lansing. When East Lansing did not work out, we thought about Grand Rapids and then finally, South Christian. God provided 1891, a home right near South Christian.

When the pandemic hit and we left Michigan to head back to Indiana, God provided again. Aunt Cheryl volunteered her home as a place for Corey to live. Although her home in Plainwell was somewhat of a challenge, Corey made it work and drove 25 minutes every day, despite the construction and some weather roadblocks.

Through the ups and downs of a crazy Senior year, it ended with a beautiful outside ceremony. The class motto said it all, “As waves toss the ship, my captain takes the wheel.”
