I sit here not really sure what to say.
It seems like each time I write SO MUCH has happened since the last time that I wonder how much or little to go into.
I was blessed by a friend to go home for 10 days over spring break. He learned that it had been 16 months since I had seen my mother and said that was, 'unacceptable.' Praise God for him because seeing and hugging my Mom was priceless. The worst part is the leaving, of course, because you just don't know when you will get to spend that time again, but we were very grateful!!
I learned a lot about myself in those brief 10 days. I struggled with my health and was diagnosed with ocular migraines. What a drag... the thing is growing up I watched my Mom suffer w/ migraines and was always actively grateful that I never had them! I do not envy those who suffer with these buggers. I am grateful it has not been worse, but the anxiety of the fear of them is something I am working through.
I also had some personal revelation regarding my heart.
I am preparing to teach 4 books in the next 7 weeks. First Colossians and Philemon. Then 2 Peter and Jude. Colossians and 2 Peter are both so jammed full of good stuff I sincerely don't know how I can possibly get it all in. Colossians may be becoming my favorite book. It's always been James, but this study might do it. 2 Peter ROCKED my world last year... so it will be interesting to see what the Lord has for the students and me through it. That is the book where the focus is really on the false teachers and how they prey on the weak. Lord knows I have first hand experience with that one. Never fun to learn that you are the weak minded person in a scenario! hehe
We are in our 3rd and final quarter of this current school. We are preparing a trip to India and I am checking the boxes. Airfare, visas, vaccines, agenda, plan.... Please pray for us! Each person needs to raise $4500. for the outreach. I know with absolute certainty that this is His will for me...but it's still scary. What universe are we living in that I have been put in charge?!!
Thank you for all of your love and support, guys. I could not be serving as I am without it.
Thank you... from our 13 Nations!
