You opened the window and winter blew in...

Guess that's how I feel lately. As if I've just arrived and still need my windows open for the summer breeze. Summer has come and gone... and will soon be replaced by glimmering snowflakes.

The last few months have flown by. This week, I've made it my goal to resuscitate my blog. It will be like playing "Where's Waldo" or "I see it!"... I'll update and you can guess what's changed.

Prizes will go to the most observant and best memory. Let the games begin!

Persecution in India

Thank you for your faithfulness and fervent prayers.

I'm here!! I'm here!!

I'm here!! I'm here!!

Hey Friends!! Well, this is a bit overdue, but I'm here in beautiful Deerfield and enjoying life! Thanks for all your prayers and notes of encouragement as I traveled off to a far away land. ;) This trip was fairly smooth... a few bumps in the road (or rather in my shipment that I packed), but nothing too big.

I'm learning my way around town and beginning to feel at home here... My latest accomplishments: I don't have to get on mapquest every time I want to leave campus and I have officially met all my neighbors in my apartment building. I've posted pics of my surprisingly small-- but cozy apartment. Hope you enjoy them! Come over for a visit anytime. ;)

The lasts few weeks I've been working on a church history course through Gordon Conwell-- that has been keeping me quite busy! Also, I've written a letter to give to churches in the area about possibly serving with their women's or twenty-somethings ministry. I'm currently talking to a few churches, so please be in prayer for the Lord's leading!

I love you all and miss you a lot!

Thanks for your continued support. It was so great getting to reconnect with so many of you before I left for the Windy City! I hope to update my blog more regularly since I won't have the opportunity to see your sweet faces as often... so keep checking back here for updates!

Love and gratitude!!

Living in 285 square feet... and in Illinois!

Scholarships

Oh! One last prayer need!

I'm registering for classes today(ish). I have still not heard from 2 foundations where I applied for scholarships. Please pray with me that I would receive scholarship money for school.

I'm thankful that the Lord knows my needs and is attentive to them. I trust that whatever happens, he will provide for me. Yet still, I covet your prayers to ask for financial provision with me.

The Founations are "Harvesters" and "John Gyles Foundation" if you want to pray specifically. The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective!

Thanks!!
