Empty Nest Syndrome

Two of my girls are graduating at the end of the semester. I love all the girls I meet with, but my relationship with each is different. There's a special bond that girls tend to have with their first college small group leader because of everything that happens in that transition. I've had these two girls in my group since they were freshmen and it's crazy to think that they're done with college already (I console myself by remembering that they're graduating early). Last night we talked about the things God did in their lives over the last three and a half years. They have changed so much. One of them reminded us that she wasn't a Christian coming into college, but got involved in Chi Alpha because she liked a boy who was a small group leader. She's come a long way... :) I will miss seeing them as much as I do now, but I'm also excited to see who they will be in the years to come.
