This past week Charissa had prom on Friday night, then spoke at FamilyLife the following Wednesday. All in all, this week made her seem very grown up! Though Charissa is not ‘dating’ at this point, she did have a nice boy ask her to this event as a friend. A foreshadowing of more boys in the future, I’m sure.
Then Wednesday, she shared the speech that we wrote about last month in our prayer letter with all of FamilyLife staff. Her comparisons between Rome and the current American culture resonated with this crowd, and even led to a standing ovation (that doesn’t happen every time a guest speaks). After speaking mostly before impartial, unresponsive judges at competitions, this emotional reaction took her by surprise. This week Brenna has her Spring Banquet, so I’m sure we will be posting her picture next week:) Thank you for being part of our family and praying for our girls!
