Hello!!! I just want to share some joyous news. On Monday Jan 14, I will start back to school. I'm working on my Masters in Human Services with an emphasis in Marriage and Family. I'll be getting my degree from Liberty University and will do it all via online! Thank goodness for modern technology.
I am grateful to be able to finally complete my Masters program. I started it in 2002 at Bethel Seminary and stepped down from the program in Jan 2004 so I could focus on my missions career. I am ready to complete the program and ready to LEARN!!!!
Please pray for my studies and that I will understand everything I'll be reading! :)
THANKS.....
Your missionary to the world!

Nalia!!!
I have delayed this post too long. Some of my blogger fans have complained that I've not done well with posting blogs in the last few months! I'm SORRY!!
I want to introduce to you my new puppy. Three days after Romeo died I went out and got a new puppy! Nalia is a Jack Russell Terrier and supposedly has some Shih Tzu in her as well, I don't see it! She has been a WONDERFUL puppy and is healthy too! I thank God for blessings like Nalia, even though she isn't 100% housebroken!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Happy 2008 to all of you!!!!!
I am SO looking forward to an incredible year ahead. I know that God has SO much in store for all of us.
For me personally, I decided against New Year's Resolutions. I am making LIFE STYLE changes. I know, that is so overly used but really, that's my goal. What I'm changing in my life presently will eventually become lifestyle changes.
I am striving to let my life be a reflection of who God is. I've struggled my entire life grasping the concept of God's unconditional love! Once I think I've got it, something else comes up and makes me wonder about His love. Not that I doubt His love, I just don't understand 100% how it works.
I've also struggled with grasping His forgiving nature. When I turn to sin, I feel awful and unforgivable BUT God in His Sovereignty forgives me when I ask. WOW...isn't that just amazing.
I know it's so basic but sometimes we have to be reminded of the basic things of God. I recall a song from the early 90's, Get Back to the Basics, sung by 4 Him. It was a reminder to us that we have to return to the Word Of God and to the Virtures and Morals that He laid out for us!
My challenge and prayer for you this year is that you will go back to the basics of who God is in your life. Don't allow religion and rules and regulations get in the way. Pull out the Word of God and discover God's truth for YOU!!!! Seek the Lord today!!!
Oh Lord
teach me to seek you,
and reveal yourself to me
when I seek you.
For I cannot seek you unless
you first teach me,
nor find you unless
you first reveal yourself to me.
Let me seek you in longing,
and long for you in seeking.
Let me find you in love,
and love you in finding.
