As time goes by...


As I'm sure was the case with many of you, the 4th of July weekend was a busy time! I was able to spend some time with all of my immediate family and enjoyed it immensely! Not only did we celebrate our Nation's Independence, but we also celebrated my niece Elise's 1st birthday and my brother Michael's 18th birthday. Mom, Monica, and I even decorated Mike's car a little bit :)
I am soooo thankful for those who serve our country now and for those who have given their lives for it in the past. The 4th of July truly is something to be celebrated beyond the Hoorah of fireworks.
I spent this past Sunday morning sharing at Harrison Bible Church in Nebraska. Pastor Parker used to be the choir director up at Cornerstone. So it's always good to see him and his family again. I enjoyed being able to share Chile with these folks!
Summer sure is flying by! Along with that... the time to leave for Chile is coming up quickly. I'm so thankful for those who have given of themselves to partner in ministry with me through prayer and giving.
The need for teachers at SCA has grown in the last day or so. In talking with the director of the school yesterday, I found out that 2 teachers have quit. Of course, these leaves quite a gap. In order to be able to be in Chile by the end of this month I'm going to have to purchase plane tickets soon. I have put this off because I don't yet have all the funds needed. So this coming Monday will be the day when I will either purchase tickets to go or call the school and let them know that I won't be able to come this semester. Please be in prayer with me about this situation. Pray that God would supply the rest by Monday and that God would fill the posistions needed at the school in Santiago. I'm so thankful that God is in control! He knows all and will work it out for his glory!
