Day 189 and the Annual Terry Picnic

Sunday, April 25, 2010Have we ever mentioned how thankful we are for the Terry Scholarship?
If not, we should again. Bailey and I are both beyond blessed by this wonderful organization. Once a year, every Terry Scholar from all over the state meets in Winedale, Texas for an afternoon of hanging out, eating great food, and honoring the graduation seniors. I have to be honest, it's hard to go to these picnics and not feel pretty inadequate. One senior girl stood up and said that she was getting her first book published after graduation, another guy was going to be an aerospace engineer, and another was going to work for PIXAR. I had to remind myself that God doesn't call us to a spirit of comparison, does he? We all have our paths to follow and Bailey and I are so thankful we don't have to walk them carrying the burden of school loans. (Because Bailey was one of the graduating seniors, she got to stand up in front of over 500 Terry Scholars and board members and share her gratitude, thanks, and plans for the future. Way to go Bailey!)
