One More Update...

Hi, folks!

Look for a more substantial post and update later, (I am thinking about more than my new support update!), but for now, here it is:

So far I have 70% of my support!

WOAH!

That is so incredible. I'm hoping to move to Tampa on August 18th, so join me in prayer that I would gain an additional 15% so I can move to campus!

Thank you for all of your help and prayers, friends.

Support Update

I’m so thankful to have received 40% of my support so far!

Thank you so much to everyone who has prayed for me, encouraged me, and supported me thus far!

Here are some ways you can help:

1) Pray!

2) Give to support my ministry. My financial goal: 85% by August 10th. (http://www.ruf.org/support-us/) 

3) Pass on my information to people who might be interested! (That would be a HUGE help!)

4) Sign up for email updates right over there [--->] and contact me if there is any question I can answer for you!

"Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of men! For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things." Psalm 107:9

Good to be back...

Though I've been back for about a month now, there are still things that pop up for the first time in a long time and make me glad to be back. Going to see my family in Shreveport, LA was like a giant instance of that. It was so wonderful to see Warren, Abbey, Baxter (4), Boyd (2) and baby number 3 (due in August!) after so long. If only Shreveport wasn't 7 hours away...

Jeffrey, Baxter, and Boyd enjoy an obviously riveting book. 

The farmer's market in downtown Shreveport: how I love the south. Blueberries, Okra, and tomatoes in all their glory!

Another thing that's great is being able to actually call friends on the phone and have a maximum time difference of 1 hour. That still hasn't gotten old.

Then there's the restaurant experience. If you read my older blog, you probably remember my humorous musing about how you have to stalk waitstaff with your eyes in order to get anything at any point during your meal. Including the check. I still find myself doing this here when any of my party needs anything. (Which is only slightly inappropriate. Oops.) On the whole, though, it's fantastic to know that the staff will come back to check on you at some point without your asking! What a deal!

Also there is the sweet tea thing. YUM.

Lastly, there is the friendliness factor. People talk to you voluntarily in your very own language! Wow! Anyhow, that's a good enough random post for now. Maybe later this week I'll post about the things I miss about Spain, because those certainly exist too. Thanks for reading! RUF update to come soon.
