Update

Hey--


Not like anyone reads this, but in case the one or two of you do....Here is a little of what's been going on lately~


After we went down to FL for my Granny's 80th Birthday party on October 2nd, she came back to Boone with us! We had a great 2 week visit, but it was ten extended to 3 weeks, due to some health complications. She spent almost a week at Watauga Medical Center, and then went back to FL last Saturday! Mom has been down there all week, but is on her way back today! I'm excited! I've missed her mucho!!!


Things at the office have been going pretty well! I have trained someone to take over all I do, and now we are just kind of working together on some things. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to go visit some people before I leave in January. I have 60% of my support, and am still praying about the last 40%! It has been beautiful watching God provide and confirm that the Logos Hope is where I am supposed to be!


I found out this past week that I am pretty much on schedule to leave January 11th! The GO Conference starts on January 12th! Woo Hoo! It is so exciting, yet scary all at the same time! It is super exciting because I have been praying about doing something like this for the past 7 years! And now....the next 2 months are going to be gone before I know it!


Along those lines, 19 DAYS UNTIL I GET TO GO TO SPRINGFIELD, MO!!! I am flying out November 18th and will come home the 24th! I cannot wait to spend some time with the bestest sissy in the world!!!!


Here's a picture from the last time I was out there! It's time for some new ones!! YAY!

I have been challenged, encouraged, and convicted, all at the same time! Ha-ha! :) God is so good, that in the times He is convicting me, He has not given me a sense of despair, guilt, and "woe is me", but that of excitement, that with Him, all things are possible!

Something that I didn't realize until this past week was that I have been bitter towards some people, because I didn't think that they should have treated me the way I have been treated. Outwardly, I have said I have forgiven them, but I have not forgiven and moved on in my heart. This has been eating at me on the inside for the past year or so, but I didn't even realize what it was!

I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit, and the way that He has been shinning His light of conviction on my soul, and showing me areas that I need to let go of and completely surrender to Christ.

In the middle of the meetings at church, this past weekend we made a SUPER quick trip to FL for Granny's 80th Birthday Party! What a blessing that was, and what a Legacy that lady has/is leaving for our family. I love her SOOOO much! It's kinda crazy how much we are alike....little things that she says are very similar to me. Approximately 85 people came to her party last Friday night. It was such a great time to honor her, and thank the Lord for her life! I will post pictures later from home....they are on my other computer.

Here's a support update: 50%!!!!!!! Thank you so much for all of you that are supporting me financially, but most of all prayerfully! I can't wait to see what God continues to do during this time of preparation! Thank you so much! I thank my God upon every remembrance of you! Phil. 1:3
