I am a horrible blogger. Since I have been back, I have only written once. In by defense, I have been bombarded with meetings, weddings plans, family time, and church meetings but I realize that is no excuse. In reality there have been plenty of times when I could have written and didn’t. Sorry for that.
Life is good here in America. Apart from the occasional reverse culture shock, I love being back with my family and sharing with churches. God has opened several doors to do ministry lately. Sarah and I have gone to a few churches this month and this week I am back at Tennessee Temple University. It’s amazing how much my old school has changed but for the most part I really like the changes. Those who want to focus on Jesus and worship Him seem to have the opportunity to really grow and be trained for ministry. I have met so many student who have a heart for God and the missions program at Temple is on the rise. The three days I have been here have been such a blessing. To be able to teach the classes I once took and to preach in the chapel I once attended is amazing to me. It has also been great to have Sarah by my side as we minister.
Continue to pray for Sarah and I as we seek additional support to return to Nepal and as we plan the wedding. As a guy I had no idea just how big a deal a wedding was. I thought I did but planning a wedding can be overwhelming and I’m not even doing that much in the planning process. I feel for my cute little bride-to-be as she runs around and tries to plan a wedding in two and a half months. We constantly try to stop and remind ourselves to have fun in this whole process. It really is fun, we just have to remember to take it a step at a time.
Since we are on the topic of my wedding, I needed address for all my friends. if you are reading this and want to come to my wedding PLEASE email me your address to reachingnepal@gmail.com or post a comment with your address on it. I some of you will feel shy to send me your address but I really want all my friends to come and for that to happen I need your address. Anyway, I hope to be post more often now that I have been told by several of you that you actually read my website. Thanks.
