Before Cassia was born a prophesy went over her:
Being around her challenges you spiritually. She doesn't have to say a word. There is simply a quiet strength about her; an irrevocable presence that goes deep unto deep where Christ speaks life and blows away the dust of dormancy as Holy Spirit begins to move.
She has made us unbelievably proud as parents, but more importantly, I believe God looks upon her and smiles. He sings over her. A song that bestows anointing and grace with it's melody. And she sings back ~ in harmony.
"Every child that opens the womb shall be called holy unto the Lord. And this child, in your womb, this child will be His anointed. This child will be a fulfilling of the scripture, ' and a child shall lead them.'
Anyone who knows Cassia wouldn't look at her and say, "Now there is a great leader!" 
But typical to the kingdom of Heaven the weak confound; the least are great. Cassia has a meek and gentle spirit that draws you to her, helps you let down your guard, and captures your affections. She has an uncanny ability to care deeply about everyone she comes in contact with. You are taken into her heart. Once there you will be ushered before the Throne of Grace by her, time & time again.

She'll be gone 4-5 days, for more than 50 hours on the Greyhound, and be going through an interview and several other events at Crown College in Minnesota. Please pray for her (and for us as we watch her grow up)!

Hello
What a bittersweet time for you and your daughter. She is growing up coming into her own independence and identity. It is such a tug on a momma’s heart. We are so proud of our children as they grow up and become wonderful young adults, but some how at the same time we still see them as our little babies ( I still do with all my children and Jessica is 30 this year).
Jim and you have done a wonderful job at raising your children. I believe all that has been imparted to her will not come back void.
I shall pray for her and your family.
Bless you dear lady ~Shelly
Well we will definitely be praying for Cassia. That is a huge step for her. Is there any way that one of you would be able to go along with her? I will pray that God makes a way for that to happen.
Love,
Peggy
What a huge step for both of you! I didn’t give it a second thought when I flew to St. Louis by myself at age 16, but now, from a parent’s perspective, I have to wonder “What were they thinking??” Anyway, I applaud you for your courage in letting go, and for the humility to acknowledge that it’s not easy. Remember, though, that God loves her more than you can even fathom, so he’s not one to let her go at it alone.

I will MOST CERTAINLY be praying....wow, what an undertaking for one so young! Love you all, Donna
So true! She is such an amazing young woman and will definitely be in our prayers this coming week. We are so proud of her and love you all very much!
Oh and I LOVE the pictures. I totally remember the one with the Mr. Potato Head glasses!
Awwwww...she is such a beauty inside and out. She'll enjoy Minneapolis, it's one of our favorite cities. Crown is great...of course, it's far from home! We'll pray for her safety...what a journey! Greyhound is an interesting people watching experience, that's for sure!
Anna,
I thought you might remember the "potato head" pic! hehe! Thanks for the prayers and love Sista!
Sara,
She isn't near as concerned as I am. In fact she is planning on taking time to study and read! Thanks for the prayer love.
