St. Jude

Be forewarned this post is about my friend and her efforts to raise money for St. Jude.

Maria is an amazing young lady who served with Dad in Cali. The Air Force injured her knees and she was not suppose to be able to run again. But Maria has a heart for St. Jude and the amazing work they do to help children with cancer and their families. In her stubborn way, Maria is determined to be able to run the St. Jude 5k and to race $1,000 for the cause.

If you all could be in prayer for her as she continues to train and for both of us as we travel to Nashville to run this race in the end of April that would be greatly appreciated.

Second, if you would like to support St. Jude and Maria in this undertaking here is the link to her page. Donate Here

Sorry everyone for the shameless plug :-)

Life Update

Hello Everyone!

Sorry I have not written in a while, writing becomes a chore when you are in school. Life is going well, I have settled into a routine in VA. Last semester was a time of adjustment but God was good throughout the process. This semester is a time to thrive!

I am taking five classes this semester, a premarital and marital counseling class, my second homiletic class (for all of you who served as guinea pigs as I learned to preach, Thank You!) and a chaplaincy class are all normal sixteen week classes. Then I am taking two intensives where the whole semester of learning was crammed into eight days then there is assignments before and after the class meets, both of those were chaplaincy courses. I am on track to finish my m.div in May of 2019.

I do have my assignment for the summer. It is a great location where I will get many opportunities to learn from some fabulous chaplains. For all my friends wanting to know it its near ya all, no it is not :-(

Please be in prayer for my classes, summer, ministry opportunities and future ministry.

Maria is an amazing friend. She was a family friend from when they were stationed in Cali, but she moved to VA this semester. Now she is working on her health care chaplaincy m. div and we get lots of time to study aka "hang out"


Norica is a friend and fellow chaplaincy student (although she is making the mistake of going Army)
