The End.

Today is April the 18th. Today is my last day in the District.
This morning I got up & went into the city one last time. I visited George & sat leaning up against him & remembered...
I remembered a young country girl visiting D.C. for the first time. I remembered how Megan Wurtele & I opened the windows of our hotel room so we could "hear the city". I remembered vowing from that last day that I would come back.
I remembered the rejection when I didn't get accepted the first time. I remembered watching snow fall & knowing that my God had planned the snowfall just for me. I remembered wanting to give up & come home,but persevering.
I remembered the sad day when I realized that I was coming back to IL soon.

This morning I sat at the foot of George & I sang those same words that Mrs.P sang to us 5 years ago on a boat in the Potomac-"My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet land of Liberty of Thee I sing..."

And I remembered, that no matter where I am. He is always there too. And no matter what happens He has my best interest in mind. And I will forever trust in Him. Because the grass will wither, the flowers will fade- & eventually George will crumble...But the Word of my Lord will stand forever!
