Back in the Falls..

We have successfully completed our first year at SIBI! This past year has been amazing, wonderful, challenging, trying, enriching, and all around mind-blowing. We have taken some time to look back on ourselves from the time that we arrived at school up till now and we are amazed at the transformation that has taken place in our lives. We have not only grown in our knowledge of the word but we have grown in our closeness to the Lord. As a couple we have learned more about how to love each other like God loves us. As individuals we have learned how to depend on God more fully and know that He is faithful in every circumstance. We are so thankful that God is in control and we are not. He has placed SIBI in our lives at exactly the time that we would thrive in it the most.

We are now back in Wichita Falls for the summer and Jeremy is interning at Tenth and Broad with the youth. This first week he has spent most of his time at the office setting up and working on his lessons for the summer. He helped Allen this weekend with a Jr. High lock in and he is now trying to catch up on some sleep. He will be teaching on Sunday mornings this summer and his class will be focusing in on leadership. He will be taking a character from the Bible each week and looking at the leadership qualities in each. The goal of the class will be for the teens to conduct a worship service at the end of the summer so they can display their leadership skills to the church. Jeremy will also be helping with two summer camps and a mission trip to Mexico while he is here, He is going to be one busy guy!

As for me, I am just trying to relax as much as possible before Lucas arrives. I am due on the 25Th of this month so I am just in the waiting game right now. I have been feeling great so far, but I can tell that my body is getting ready. Please pray for a safe (and on time) delivery.

We love you all and thank you so much for your continued prayers and support!
