Day by Day

Waking up at 5am every day of the week can get old... and it does, but by the time I'm back from work I wonder where the day went. Praise God for the wood job I have. He is shining His light through me in that place and for that I am grateful. I may not see any conversions to Christ, but I know that there are seeds being planted and that there are people more open to Him because He has been shining through the cracks of me, a clay pot.
Time with my grandparents is precious and friends and family are dear to me as I come closer to September. I was able to make it to one of my best friend's wedding last Saturday. I am so proud of the two of them and so excited for their new life.
I am planning on heading down south to the midwest for a couple of weeks to raise some support with my family church down there. I am unsure though about how it is all going to come together with a projected $500 as a minimum for the trip. As a wise man said, take one step at a time, because that is as much as a "Light at my feet" will allow me to see for now.
As for now, Thank the Lord oh my soul, for all the things He has blessed and provided for me TODAY. He is sustaining me. As He said He would.

The Eaglet has Landed... Barely

Where do I begin?
It's been a whirlwind, and I hardly know where I've finally landed.

From ChiTown, to the Bermuda Triangle of the northern states, then back to pack. Left School that Sunday morning, made it home in the East twelve hours later... only to go straight back there to my Bible College three days later for a cousin's grad (among other friends). A couple of nights later I found myself settling into bed at my family friend's house that has become "home" for the summer months. And now?
Working a 6-3:30 shift every week day, enjoying family and friends, and of course the summer rain... which has been pretty frequent these days.

GOALS:
  • Raise support for my upcoming year in across the pond in Scotland
  • Become better acquainted with families in my Church
  • Find a way to plug into my Church and minister
  • Save, Save, Save money... between paying doctor bills and school
  • .. and keep this thing updated.
So really this is just a post to say "I'm back".
Hope to see ya soon.
