I know, I haven't posted in months. But those months have seemed like weeks or days to this Bible student. I suppose time flies by if we're not careful enough to stop and take some time out once in a while. I apologize, especially the part of me that is the writer, for not keeping up with my blog. Hopefully, I will have better time management this term. At least, that's one of my New Year's resolutions.
Speaking of, Happy New Year everyone!!! Hope your holidays were fantastic. Ours surely were! 4,000 miles and 15 states later we were tired, but so encouraged. We spent Christmas with my entire family in West Virginia. It was so much fun! The day after Christmas, however, I got sick and had a high fever. Fun, fun! I got better after a few days and then we drove down to my parents house in North Carolina. We stayed with them a good week and a half and visited our home congregation of Roosevelt Drive in Jacksonville. It was so uplifting to see everyone. We stopped at my grandma's house in Wilmington, NC and then my other grandparents home in Atlanta. We spent a few days there before heading to Dallas and staying with Robin's sister and brother-in-law. We had a great time.
Now, we're back to the grind, or as my teacher says, back to the joy of being at school. It honestly is a joy! We just love our classmates, our teacher and most of all the amazing things God is teaching us. We are so very blessed!!
This term, we have Acts, Matthew, Scheme of Redemption, Effective Bible Study and Evangelistic Methods. Robin has preaching and has his first sermon on Monday already! Pray for him. I have public speaking 3, which focuses this term on leading small group studies.
Please pray for us this term, as it will be quite a challenge. We have a lot of memory work, including ALL of Matthew 5. We also ask for your prayers as we prayerfully decide where to spend this summer. Of course, you all must know we're considering Scotland, North Carolina or doing a mission trip to somewhere new. Please let us know what you think!
We love you all. Thanks for your love and support. Have a blessed weekend!
Yes, it does snow in west Texas!
There are always sooo many presents at my grandma's house every year!
