The family and I are enjoying our first ever vacation that doesn't involve extended family. I absolutely (most of the time) love hanging out with both mine and Lisa's extended family, but it's nice to have some time by ourselves here at the beach. It's awesome. Pastor Johnny and Miss Janet are incredibly generous in letting us stay at their place this week. There is no other way we could have done something like this otherwise!
I've learned a lot from Pastor this year. His generosity is an example to emulate. I look forward to being able to invest in others one day the way he has invested into my life and in my family's life. A common key I've seen in great Christian leaders I've been around is a giving spirit. Pastor Johnny has it like it's a disease! Dr. Price is extremely generous and encouraging as well.
Jesus is generous too!
I'm reading a new book right now, Mark Batterson's "Wild Goose Chase". So far, so good. His book, "In a Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day" was a catalyst (following that particular conference) that God used in my life to shake me out of my comfort zone and take this incredible journey this year.
The count down is on!!!!
I have 3 weeks and 2 days, and I'll be finished with college! I passed all 6 CLEP tests this summer, and began work on my last 2 classes in August. PRAISE GOD!!! In just 2.5 semesters, I knocked out 16 classes (as long as I complete the work on these last 2 alright!). It'll be nice to have a breather for the last couple of months of the year.
We're praying over where to go in January. Some things are in the works, but nothing yet concrete. Hopefully we'll know something soon. However, knowing what God has been doing in our lives, as long as I have my act together, I know it'll be incredible!
