My online classes with Ivy Tech started last week, so getting used to that will be interesting. It is going well so far, I just pray that I can keep it up with my full time job and the mission trips that i want to go on. I am taking an english/writing and a life skills course that is required for all first time students.
The life skills class does not start until October, so I only have english until then.
I had some friends over last sunday for some Ultimate Frisbee and while we were out there Mattea was playing with us and she fell and fractured her wrist. Now she has a cast on and is pretty proud of it. Tomorrow at CBS she is going to get it signed by all her friends. She is the first one of us to have broken/fractured anything, so it is a milestone I guess.
Soon we will be watching the Vessels' girls for the rest of the time that they are in China. The funny thing is that now we will have two girls with casts on! Lydia fell about two weeks ago and broke her elbow in three places so she has one on as well. I know that it will be fine, but it's just a little ironic.
I cannot wait to meet the two now Vessels' girls! They look so sweet! I hope the time goes fast so they can come home soon. The sad thing though is that Alicia will not be with them. Oh well, I know she will have many great experiences helping at the Orphanage.
Gotta go!

A Thief in the Night
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Therefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. "
"Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."
2 Peter 3:9-14,17-18
WIth all the hype about the end of the world I thought that I would put this up here to remind everyone about what the Bible really says. We will not and do not know the day or the hour.

Huntingdon's Disease Awareness Month
May is Huntingdon's disease awareness month. HD is is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and leads to cognitive decline and dementia. It typically becomes noticeable in middle age. HD is the most common genetic cause of abnormal involuntary writhing movements called chorea. My Dad was diagnosed with HD about a year ago and my Aunt and Uncle have the disease as well. The disease is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation on either of an individual's two copies of a gene called Huntingtin, which means any child of an affected parent has a 50% risk of inheriting the disease. So this means I and my sisters are at risk of having this disease.
Please tell people about HD and pray that someday there will be a cure.

Radical
In the last week or so I have been reading a book by David Platt(a pastor in Alabama)
called "Radical". It's about living a life so dedicated to God and passionate about him that all our earthly relationships seem like hate in comparison and letting the word of God be enough for us and living for others everyday, even to the point of living sacrificially. It has really made an impact on me and I hope that it inspired me enough to do what it says. I want God to live through me and make an impact on others. I want to let the Word of God and the Spirit be enough for me and not all the "activities" that modern churches put out for people. I want to live RADICALLY for God!

Random Thoughts
I really don't know where to start, as I'm not really good at writing alot. I need to update alot, and tell you how my life has been going.
This might seem very hodgepodge and random, but hopefully it will get better.
Well recently, it's been wet. It rained for almost a week straight. The river came up, as did many streams and creeks. My prayers go out to the families whose houses were damaged. Also, there have been some devastating tornados in Alabama and Georgia.
My prayers go out to them as well.
I have been continuing working at Rural King supply since March and I really like it there. The people are nice and I get to help people and I'm glad that I have more
opportunities to share about my faith. I only hope I can make a differience in their lives.
Well, I am going to close. God Bless!
