My goodness! Can you believe we are already half way though the summer? I hope you all are having a wonderful summer, and keeping safe on those long travels.
Maybe wondering what I have been up to the last few months! Well here's a little update.
In May I finished up my two years at bible school. (At NewTribes Bible Institute) YES folks I graduated from college! I did it! Truly I am so thankful and beyond amazed at all the hard work it took but the incredible everlasting reward it holds. These last two years have been AMAZING, CHALLENGING, UNDESCRIBABLE but worth it All! Even though I have graduated from bible school, I still don't know it all! Actually I see now how much I actually don't know! But oh boy! I am so excited to be studying on my own it's been so eye opening. Specialy trying to learn how to articulate what it is that I am learning and understanding.
Thank you to all of you that have been praying for me these last few years, also for your encouragement and support it has been such a blessing!
So, I started my summer with a wedding of a very very dear sister/friend of mine! It was a beautiful wedding and I was so honored to be apart of it and share this special day with them.
Then it was home bound to Saginaw, MI for this chicka! Whhhoooo I was beyond excited to see my family! Jason (one of my brothers) graduated also this year from high school and will attend cornor stone in Grand Rapids this coming fall. Jeremy (youngest brother) received his drivers license and also his first job! My parents both working so hard, trying to be home in the evenings to see us kids as we all have grown into teenagers an adults. What a blessing my family has been!
My summer job came as a surprise! My dad asked me if I would like to work with him. I said sure why not! Well little did I know what I was getting into! But I work at Michigan milk producers of Ovid Michigan a milk factory. It's hard work, long hours and long weeks! But it's a job that I am so thankful for! It's been a joy working with my dad and learning so many more skills, but specially really connecting with my dad which at this stage in life isn't so common!
This summer has been busy! This last week I got to help volunteer for Vaction Bible School with my brother Jeremy an a bunch of other volunteers from Immanuel Bible Church! What a joy and crazy, fun time it was hanging out with the kids but also getting to know some new people! what an incredible week!
Also this summer I received a lovely package from a family (Brandon & Heather Young) we choose as our senior project from school (NTBI). It was from Papua New Guinea (PNG) how excited I was! I can't wait to hear about their trip! Such an encouarging couple!
Please contuine to be praying for me as the summer rolls on. A couple things you can be praying for:
1. Contuinly reading Gods word & Looking to him!
2. Fall plans, and desscions.
3. Finances
4. 38 Students that have graduated from New Tribes Bible Institute and how they are now impacting this world with what they have learned.
Update coming soon for fall.
Romans 15:4-7
"For whatever was written in former days was written for ourinstruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
