Back at it


So, I am back at school and everything is going quit well. This is probably going to be the most packed semester yet, but what was I expecting ? Recently the Lord has been teaching me many things, mainly just to be patient and to wait for His timing and go along with His plan and to stop trying to make my own. That being said, please be in prayer for me regarding the next step He wants me to take and that I will trust Him completely through it. While you are at it, pray that I will remain concentrated on the task at hand and do what He wants me to do now. Blessings.

Catching up...

It has been quite about a month since I posted, except for the last two posts...and what a busy month it has been! Just to get you caught up on what has been going on in my life....

* December 6th-10th- The Ezekiel Project took a trip down to Raleigh, NC for an evangelistic Christmas banquet held there. I had the privilege of staying with Jonathan and June Peck who used to be missionaries to the Congo. It was a blessed trip, that I learned a lot from.
* December 12th-last Youth Group
* December 13th- TEP Christmas party and goodbye's
* December 14th- last day of class and headed for GA.
* December 15th-25th arrived in GA on the 15th, visited with family and friends, went to the chapel, spent Christmas with the family, got sick for a couple of days, and slept a good bit
* December 26th-29th- Ashlyn and I drove to St. Louis, MO for the Rise Up and Look Conference. It was great to spend time with her, meet new people, see old friends, see some of the TEP people, hear ministry from the Word, and make many memories.
* December 30th-31st- Went with Adam to Greenville, SC to visit friends.
* December 31st-January 4th- in Augusta spending some last few days here.
* January 4th-5th- visiting family in Atlanta.
* January 6th- drive back with Becca and Brandon from Atlanta to Michigan.
* January 7th- class starts back at TEPSE.

It was so good to see many of you over the Christmas break. Looking back over this year, I have witnessed the Lord's blessing and provision time and time again. Right now He is teaching me, yet again, to be patient and trust Him for the next step. Thank you for all your support, prayers, and encouraging words along the way. Blessing to all.

Happy Brithday, Gramps!


Yesterday, my grandpa celebrated his 68th complete year on earth and today we all had a nice family dinner together for the occasion. I am so blessed to have the grandfather that I do....I respect him to the utmost. God gave this man a very special place in my live. He has used him to show me what a God fearing and servant of a man looks like. Lord willing, we will have many more years to celebrate his life. Love you, papa!

Family





I got home on the 15th of December and have loved being able to see my family. We have so much fun together and it is good to get to know each of them a bit more. I have missed out on part of their lives since being in Michigan, but it does not take me long to realize that I am still a part of the family. :) Thank God for knowing what is best in giving me the family that I have!
