The Newest! :)

Hello all!

Writing to say hello and to fill ya in on life's latest details because I love that each of you are involved in my life!

I will begin with school. I am officially a college graduate and now working on my Masters in Higher Education at Geneva College. The program is typically two years but my program as of right now will span over close to three academic years (summers off). I am enjoying the program and do truly feel I am growing, most especially with my most recent class. My most recent class is a study of the History of Higher Education. Higher Education began with strong roots of faith. The Colonial Colleges - Princeton, Harvard, and Yale were all started as Christian Institutions.

I am working as a Graduate Assistant in the Campus Ministry Department of Geneva College. I led a Bible Study and Book Study last semester. The book was really intriguing and was recommended by my study abroad director Kimberly. The title, "Eternity on their Hearts", this book delved into other cultures to see the Lord's work in what we might see as "different". This semester I am studying Ruth and will follow with another book of the Bible with a group of college women. This past weekend I attended the Jubilee Conference with a group of college students and Campus Ministry Staff. The conference was really refreshing and encouraging. The conference always awakens my mind and heart. The conference's theme: All Things Hold Together in Him. I will write a longer Blog, Email, Facebook Note to delve into all that I learned but a glimpse: Social Justice! Social Justice and more Social Justice! I also attended an informative session on Nuclear Warfare and our responsibility in awareness. I learned a bit more about Microfinancing (simply mini loans to start mini businesses) and how this develops countries. Microfinancing utilizes the talents and abilities of those in the community to build the community. More on all of this if you are interested soon.

I am also working as a Mental Retardation Support Coordinator with Lawrence County Human Services. I locate services for families and then continue to monitor their services to be sure they are satisfied with their services. The services are all support through government funding.

I am currently also on the market to buy a car. I was in an accident and totaled my car. Both myself and the other driver are okay but our cars were both totaled. I have been car searching for about a week now. I haven't had much luck. It's hard to find a decent used car.

My Dad is continuing to do well. He recently took up bowling! He is bowling on Sundays with the other men in the house and now close to reaching 200 he said recently! Very exciting.

Things with my mother and my siblings are really starting to look up! :) I have been really sending praises to the Lord in this area.

Lastly, a Psalm I read today and would love to share...

O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your possessions-
This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great (Psalm 104:24-25)

Be blessed!
