The Highlands are Drawing Near

Greetings everyone!

I have been humbled by not only the financial support that has been coming in, but the words of encouragement I have received as well. So first and foremost, thanks to all of you who have been there for me financially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Secondly, one prayer request has been answered! For a month or so I had been getting a shortage of hours at work (Walmart) but this week I was informed that I would be getting a promotion! I started my new position today and it went quite well, so thank you to everyone who has been praying for that situation.

Finally, the second signature course for the 365m program came to a closet this preceding week which marks another milestone I have completed in my preparation for departure. In one more week I will be beginning the third and final signature course which will conclude mid-November. It has been such a privilege to participate in these online courses and to learn alongside 10 other seminary students. These peers have been a source of encouragement for me as we have conversed inside and outside the scholarly setting. I am grateful for them, so if you are reading this, please keep them in your prayers as well.

I still have quite a ways to go spiritually, financially and personally before I will be 'ready' so I ask that you would continue to prayerfully consider what type of support you would be able to provide, and then act on it. If it is to pray, pray. If it is to encourage, encourage. If it is to share with others, share with others. And if it happens to be to give, then by all means give.

Grace and peace to all of you.
