Another Brief Update

Well, last week was great with Rebecca here. Praise God she made it home safe, though the highways were snow-covered and generally horrible to drive on. For the first 150-200 miles there was 3 inches of snow causing her to lose traction most of the way, even going onto the shoulder several times, also ending up with a flat tire. However, God was gracious and preserved her from harm, and she had the nail removed from the tire and patched for. While she was here, she also had an awesome time getting her first real taste of life at WTS- she came with me to all my classes and found it really enjoyable. Of course, now there is extra catching up to do...

So I am right in the thick of things, and of course, here comes an unexpected car repair bill- over $500 for new brakes. Ouch! Things are getting a bit worrisome now with finances- the wedding coming up, and all. But we trust where God has us is where He wants us- we must depend on Him for all things, including our daily bread, right? This is sometimes easier said than done.

But I am looking forward to coming home for the March break. More than that, today I was reading an article on heavenly-mindedness based on Hebrews 11 ('Just a thought' above) which reminded me that I need to set my sights on the rest that is promised to me in Christ. There, in the kingdom which cannot be shaken, I will be free from sin and the cares of this earth that often weigh me down, and will live forever before the face of God. Will I meet you there?
