Lily’s Senior Photos

Lily is one of the sweetest girls you could meet. She has a heart for others and really strives to live her life with integrity (not always a priority for teenagers!). But don’t let her smiling face and petite frame fool you – she’s a beast in the weight room and can deadlift WAY more than you can. Going into her senior year she started looking into colleges and felt God really gave her a peace about Ouachita Baptist University. Awesome, decision made! Go Tigers! But……

College is really expensive. And private colleges can be particularly so. Her parents were feeling a lot of uncertainty about the financial aspect and wondering if it would be a wise decision for her to go. Graduating college swamped with student loan debt isn’t a great way to start adult life! Lily, however, still felt like this was where God was calling her to go, even though they weren’t sure how it was going to work. She spent the next several weeks in the uncertainty, trying to trust that God would work it out.

At the beginning of February, she received a phone call from the track coach at OBU – he was offering her a scholarship!! This help would be enough to allow her to attend the college after all. God had revealed the path that she was trusting was there, and everyone is so excited for her. She signed with the university last week and can’t wait to start next semester as a Ouachita Tiger! I am cheering for you, Lily, and know you will do great things!!
