Hello friends and family, I must admit, I am not accustomed to blogging so much about myself, and asking for so many prayers! I am glad to provide current prayer requests for my prayer partners. At the same time, I would like our partnership to go both ways as much as it is possible. For …
On Saturday I hiked up Mount St Benedict, near Mission, B.C. I went with three others, and at a fairly fast rate. In spite of all my bike-riding, I was not as well-conditioned for that caliber of a hike as I thought I would be! I finished last, with two walking-sticks and two trembling legs! …
Hi everyone, Praise God I was able to finish my book, finally, last night! And today was the last of five class sessions. I have to do ten involved assignments, a significant reading report, and the term essay to finish the course. Ideally, I will do all of this before Monday the 15th, when muy …
Praise: class is going well! Prayer Request: I’m struggling to make time (“tame” time I kept typing by mistake!) for my studies outside of class this week. I even still have about 35 more pages of reading, never mind the essay and assignments! It’s a bit of a tall order if I hope to get it …
Thank you everyone for your prayers- I was able to get a good chunk of reading done, in addition to some reflection on the first book. Tomorrow will be much of the same, with a bike ride to school to pick up some mail. I’m looking forward to the exercise! Also, I’ll be preparing the …
Two good things happened today! 1. I was surprised by the generous gift of a relatively-new friend, resulting in my full-time funding status! 2. I finished reading one of my required readings, “The Problem of Pain,” by C.S. Lewis. Tomorrow I hope to write some required reflections on the work, and put a significant dent …
Please pray that I would be able to get through my assigned readings quickly! I have 340 pages to read by next Monday- It should be quite doable, but life has a habit of sending many interruptions large and small, on a regular basis :). Please pray for alertness and freedom from distractions. I am …
Praises! The computer run at church, though not perfectly executed, went really well. I received complements from the lead pastor. I had one close call on the bike, but was kept from harm. Ran errands around town from noon to five. For the first time, I went to 5&2, a homeless ministry run by my …
My first time running the computer at my church up here in Canada is today, with setup around 8 AM, The service starting at 10, and ending a bit after 11. I am using new software on a new platform (Mac!) and as such would greatly appreciate prayers that all would go through. Also, praise …
Praise: Overall, I am 80% to being fully funded. This breaks down to 95% of my class tuition and 70% of my living expenses. That is a strong contrast from when I started at about 33% two weeks ago. Praise God for His faithfulness and for the generosity of my community! Prayer: that God would help …
