God, and His faithfulness!

Hey out there, friends and family!

Hope everyone is doing well!

I know it's been a while, and I wanted to let you know that I still exist, and that this blog will continue to exist as well! :-)

The last time I wrote, was to let everyone know that I got the job!!! I have been here for a little over a week now, and I can already tell that this is an incredible company to work for! Everyone around here is SO friendly and welcoming, and I love that! It's an awesome atmosphere! Very laid back and just all around awesome! God has yet again, left me truly speechless!

Ya know, I look back at how we got here and really, it's by the miracle and the grace of God!!! Christopher and I had our share of confusion, discouragement, and let downs, but in the end, it all worked out for the glory of God! It's sad in a way, that looking back, we started to doubt. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but in our minds, we started to wonder how in the world this was going to work out. And literally at one point, we didn't think it would! We did the math, and it just didn't seem possible. And even in the times of doubt, God was and is still here...

This is an awesome testimony to God's faithfulness. Nothing is too big for God!!! Through this whole change, I have really learned to completely trust God, even if it doesn't make since, and even when I don't even think it's possible. It IS possible, because of my awesome God!!! It has always amazed me at how faithful God is to the unfaithful.

2 Timothy 2:13: if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny himself.

What an awesome reminder!!!

As much as I wil be blogging about what's going on in our life, I also want to be an encouragement to whoever might read this.

Only by the grace of GOD!!!!!

Hello everyone!!!

I am updating my blog to tell you that by the grace of God, I got the job!!!!!!!! I'm so VERY grateful to God for this opportunity!!!! I will actually be starting tomorrow (Tuesday)!!!! Which is the same day that Christopher starts his classes!!! God is good!!!! (Of course, He is good regardless of whether I have a job or not!!!) I will have benefits!!! Health, dental, vision, and life insurance!!!

Thanks to all those who have lifted us up in prayer!!! God has heard and answered!!!

That's pretty much the only exciting news I have for you at this point! But I wanted to let everyone know! :-)

Oh! Here's something interesting! My phone literally broke in half about a week ago, so my dad was going to send me a new one in the mail. Well, the other day, my brother-in-law Boyd called, and asked if I wanted to join their plan and get a free Blackberry Tour..and pay less monthly than I'm paying now!!! So I'm pretty excited, but I've never owned a blackberry. Everyone says it's great, but I'm sure it will take some getting used to, considering that I've always had a small phone. :) And the phone that my dad sent me will actually be used by Christopher. The battery on his old phone is about shot...it still works, but it keeps getting worse...so this is good...we both get new phones!!!

Well, I will update soon! This was just a quick blog for today! Busy getting prepared for tomorrow! :)

Until next time,

So much going on!!! :-)

Hello again!!!

It's been a few days since my last post, so let me update you on what's been going on!

Yesterday morning I had a face to face interview, with a company that I had previously had a phone interview with!!! It went very well...I think?!? :-) I met with the corporate controller (which was who I had the phone interview with, previously), then immediately after that, I met with a team, including the HR manager, and THEN, I met with a guy, who's a little bit higher up in the company. It was a very long interview to say the least!!! They said the next step in the process, if they chose to go on with it, I would meet the CEO of the company. Well, guess what?!?! They called me today and asked if I could meet with the CEO tomorrow! And of course I said YES!!! I really don't want to get my hopes up too much...but this really does sound promising!

PLEASE pray!!! I really want this job, and I am praying that this is the job God has for me!!! It would be a great company to work for!

Also, yesterday, Christopher and I went to the seminary to get my shield card, which is basically a card I will need whenever I want to use the facilities on the campus. I can go to the gym for free, and use the pool, etc. Pretty awesome!!! So last night, we took a tour of the facilities, and we have decided to go to the gym a few times a week! I'm excited about that!

Oh, and guess what?!?! Christopher is not the only one that will be taking classes at the seminary now! I signed up today for SWI! "Seminary Wives Institute." The seminary offers classes to wives of seminary students, which I think is pretty cool. Thursday nights I will be taking a "Discipleship skills" class. A 12 week course. Each semester I will be taking a Thursday night class..and I will actually get a certificate at the end of it all!!! And on the plus side, I'm hoping this will give me an oppurtunity to make friends. They will be in the same boat I am. (Husbands going to Seminary) I'm pretty excited about all of it! :-)

Well, I will keep you updated on this whole job thing!
Oh, and feel free to leave comments if you'd like! :-)
You actually don't need an account, you can just comment anonymously, of course you could tell me who you are so I know you're keeping up with this journal! :-)

Until next time,

Just another day in Kentuckiana

This is Flash's new favorite thing to do! :-) Now that we having a sliding glass door, he's always sticking his head through the blinds to see what's out there!

Well, we've officially been in our apartment for a week now. It's going well, except we still have boxes to unpack...and a million clothes for me to iron and hang up!

Christopher starts classes next Monday. But the good thing is that he has Mondays and Fridays off. But I'm nervous for him because he's going to try and take Greek & Hebrew at the same time...yikes...

I did not get the job at the law firm...but it's all good, because I can be sure that God is going to provide.

At some point, after our apartment is all in order, I will put some pictures up of how it looks now! :-)

Until next time,

Busy times!

Hello again, from Kentuckiana!

We finally have the internet...which didn't take as long as I thought!

Today has been a crazy day! We've had so much going on at the apartment! We got our kitchen counters taken care of. (The paint on the counter was coming off whenever we tried to wash them), our bathroom floor now has vinyl on it. And then of course the internet guy came! And here we are! There were 2 jobs so far that I've had interviews for, but I haven't heard anything back from either of them. It's really testing my patience! :-/ But oh well...

Yesterday evening, we went to a chinese buffet, and Christopher tried frog legs for the first time.


Yuck! He absolutely loved them...I on the other hand did not even want to try such a thing! :) Christopher asked me if I was going to die without having tried them, and I very confidently said YES! :-)


Here are some pictures that I took of the flooding in our back yard! Check it out!






Needless to say, it was crazy! We were really fortunate, by the grace of God, that the water didnt' go any further. If you look at the very last picture, that is looking out the back yard and to the right, of course by then, the water had gone down quite a bit.

Anyway, I'm gonna get off here now, and go fix dinner! :-)

Until next time,

The proud wife of a seminarian! :)

We made it!!!

Hello there, from "Kentuckiana." That's what they call it here...(southern indiana) since it's so close to Louisville.

We had quite the trip!!! What is supposed to be an "8 hour trip" turned into a "12 hour trip." But don't worry, that's only if you have 6 people traveling in 3 different vehicles, full bladders, a flat tire, a credit card mishap, and a car that stops working! Other than that, you have your self an "8 hour trip!"

Another wild adventure: The morning after our first night staying in our apartment, we had a flood! Yes, a real flood...not just a little bit of rain, or a little bit of thunder, or a little bit of lightening. Thank the Lord that we did not get water in our apartment!! We were very fortunate by the grace of God, because there were others within the apartment complex who DID get water in their apartments! :-( In fact, the water was so bad on the roads, that they had to close down parts of the bridge that comes through from IN to KY. My parents had the time of their lives trying to get home yesterday! But praise the Lord, they made it...although they unfortunately were in the storm just about the whole time! Christopher's parents on the other hand, were ahead of the storm, and they made it home safely as well!!!

It's interesting here...we both have never been away from home, so this is a first. But the awesome thing is that we get to experience it together!!! I wouldn't want to experience it with anyone else!!!

This is my first blog entry, and for now, I won't be updating a whole lot (Maybe once or twice a week if possible), until we get the internet in our apartment. So basically, we will be coming to the computer lab at the seminary in order to use the internet.

If you could, please pray for Christopher and I, as we get settled here. There's so much to do.
If you can commit to praying for us as we go on this journey...here are some things you can pray.

1. For me to find a good job that pays well and has benefits...(health, vision, dental, etc.)
2. For us to keep stable finances, as we do not have jobs yet, and are currently having to live off of our savings (though we had to pay our 6 month rent up front for the apt.)
3. For us to make friends...I know for me, it's easy to make friends when I have lived somewhere for a long time, but it seems harder being in a place where you don't know the area, or anyone in the area (Although, we are so thankful to have Amy and Rudder in the area, so that is a start!!!)
4. For us to find a church home...that's a big one!
5. For us to be able to get the internet at home...although it may not seem like a big deal, there are a lot of things we actually need the internet for, such as facebook (haha, just kidding, although I do enjoy facebook) But seriously, there are several things we need it for.
6. Pray that we would not be fearful of things, but that we would simply trust in God, even when it gets hard...

Alright folks, that's it for now...

Until next time,

The proud wife of a seminarian!
