It has been such a long time since my last post! There has been so much that has happened especially in the past month. I will post more as time allows about all that HE has done over these past months. As for this past month I will post a few thoughts and comment on a few events.
First of all, on May 28th I graduated from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary! It was a long haul! I actually started seminary at Columbia Internaltional University (Columbia Bibilical Seminary & School of Missions) in 2001 and went off and on (more off than on). We moved to Wake Forest, NC to SEBTS on July 1, 2008 to finish and finishing was quite a relief for both Jill and I. She was amazing (as usual) throughout my time of struggling through papers and other assignments.
Over the past 3 weeks both of our vehicles that we have had for over 7 yrs had major issues. We had our Honda Oddysey since '03 and our Toyota Camry since '01. Our van had transmission issues and we had to get a new van (the first car payment we've had in 2.5 yrs, one of the ways which HE provided as we attended seminary). Then on this past Friday our car broke down as we were driving down I-95. The engine was toast after the oil filter was not put on right last week during an oil change. The good thing is that the mechanic is going to be a stand up guy and take quite a hit to help us out and put a new (used) engine in for us.
All of this with the constancy of moving (my back is sore!) has kept us busy and tired! I will try and keep the blog updated...we are so excited to be here in Kershaw loving and serving at Oak Ridge Baptist Church!
