So I haven’t written on here in forever. Partially due to my crazy schedule this summer and partially because I am just lazy and don’t want to take the time to have a deep processing of thoughts and reflection. So here is a recap long and short of whats gone on here lately.

Couple college students from the University in China

• So I graduated and that was a big highlight. Going back to Criswell in the fall to start on my Masters of Theology in Historic and Systematic Theology. Medieval and Patristic the. here I come!

• On April 16th Josh and I found out that we are pregnant and are expecting a baby boy in mid December. Pretty pumped and scared at the same time

• Went to China in May and got to work with some college students there and share the love of Christ, although I am pretty sure that I learned more from them than they did from me. It wasn’t an easy trip, but definitely one of humility and thankfulness. I do have to say morning sickness in a country half way around the world is not a plus!) I think my theology and world view will never be the same.

• Took the students to camp and had an amazing time. Had some solid preaching that week, and burned
  

  Student Life Camp '08

  lots of calories walking from the girls dorm everywhere.

• The next week we had our missions project to Austin to work with the homeless. We took 15 students and 2 other adults. Although I am a fan of camp, I am beginning to have this passion sparked for heart change in doing missions. Probably because I was sinful and never really wanted to get outside of myself int he past and when forced to, God still blesses. Our students did an amazing job of ministering and in their personal lives being broken of some of their sin. It was a beautiful picture and I can’t wait to go back next year.

  In a week Josh and I will head out with two of our youth to teach at Student Leadership Training for the SBTC. Its something I have really been looking forward to and getting to pour into some girls who are passionate about doing ministry in their community and lives. It will be a week of challenging teaching and a charge for biblical womanhood. I feel like the least of these to bring the charge

• Another couple from church and Josh and I are trying to memorize the book of Ephesians. Gotta get past the salutation.

• On the flip side, Josh and I have gotten to spend some time with some “older than us, but not by any means old” members of our church these past couple of weeks. It is refreshing to have some older women to talk to and pick their brains. We have talked about everything from childbirth, to mentoring, Bible studies tools, and almost landing in jail. (You can learn so much from the next generation!) I am challenged to be more like them and to take their words of wisdom and laughter and apply to my own life. It has been an answer to prayer.

• Next on the list…..I’m hoping for a vacation!!!

Life has been busy, but God is still constant thankfully, but in the midst of the business I feel God working more than ever. Josh made mention the other day that he feels more yielded to the Spirit than ever. God is working on us, some in not so easy ways but still very exciting. I look forward to the rest of summer with more awe-moments, more crap-moments, and more laughter. I’ll write again, maybe tomorrow, next week, or as you know, a month to come.

For there is none but Jesus!
