I came to Ohio this week to hang out with my grandparents, work a little at the store, and see people from the past- it's been all that and more. I've had the chance to reconnect with old friends, go to my favorite Chinese restaurant, (Lee's is the best. Hands down.) spend a day shopping with my grandma, learn how to make my favorite pie from the pro, (woot zucchini pie!) work in the store, talk at a local church... and it's only Wednesday!
Tonight, I had the privilege to speak at Pleasant Hill BIC at their Wednesday Night Live dinner. They graciously allowed me to share a little bit about my journey to this point and the ministry of Bingham Academy, not to mention how excited I am to be serving there soon. The beginning of the talk was a little emotional, because just before I started, they handed me a check- with a significant contribution to my support. I am astonished, grateful, baffled, and blessed beyond words. To see God's faithfulness even in my first foray into speaking in churches is a testament to not only the blessing of his people who choose to obey him but especially the amazing power of God.

I know this is not the norm- I do not expect it to happen every time. But I do know that the God I serve has the ability to make this happen again and again and I will follow and rejoice in the journey ahead.
