A Trip to Texas

Hi there,
I've told all you about my hope and desire to attend His Hill Bible school in the fall and a little while ago I actually got to go for a day. Here's a little update on that. A few weeks ago I was in Texas for a little visit. While I was there Noah and I got to take a trip to visit His Hill. We got the privilege of sitting in on the morning classes and joining them for lunch. It was beautiful and wonderful. So, here's how it went. 

It was a Tuesday and the sun was shining. We woke up early and headed out of the house around 7:30 for the hour and a half drive there. We drove through Texas hill country and chatted all the way. I was quite nervous but also very excited. I had seen many pictures and was excited to see it in person.

As we pulled into the driveway it all became so real. It set in that this would be my home for a while. We arrived right at 9:00 as the students were gathering for chapel. we shook a few people's hands and took a seat at the back. We worshipped and then a testimony was told. We took a short break and then the first session began. We sat through all three sessions with a fifteen-minute break between each one. It was really good and I enjoyed the speakers a lot. 

In between sessions we walked around a little and gazed at the view on all sides. The wind was chilly but the sunshine was warm. It was a beautiful day. Then, we went to lunch. We joined a table of students and chatted as we ate. It was really cool to be able to talk to them and ask them questions. They were all so lovely and a couple of them were from Canada which was all cool.

After lunch, the students were free to do as the wished so Noah and I went for a hike. We went through the trails on campus and it was lovely. We got back to the car and I napped as Noah drove us home. I am so glad that we got to go. It made it all feel so much more real and it helps me to see what I'm working towards. I'm really looking forward to attending in the fall and I can't wait to take you along for the journey! Until next time,

Introduction to Bible Study Methods

Image
Hey there friends, A while ago I asked if I could teach a Sunday School lesson on Bible study methods to our youth group. This isn't usually my class but as I was sitting in service one Sunday morning I was reflecting on the things I wish I had learned earlier on in life. Bible study methods was the first topic. As I thought about it more I realized how much I would love our youth to have access to the information I wasn't taught until Bible school. This blog post is an adaptation of the lesson I taught them. My lesson was over two Sundays and so this blog post will be a two-parter as well. I hope you find this interesting and informative. Let's get into it! I grew up in a Christian home—a very involved and active Christian home. In fact, by the age of 11, I lived full-time in ministry. My family and I lived and worked at a Bible school, my dad was an elder, and I helped in the nursery at our church. I also worked at the Bible School summer camp! From there, we went directl

A Little Life Update

 Hey there friends, I've been gone from here for almost a year this time around! The last time I posted was in March of 2021. Life has been wonderful and crazy all at the same time. I'm so excited to say that I've got a brand new blog post to share with you. But, I thought it may be nice to share a little life update before we get to that. Firstly, I've taken on some responsibilities with our church. I do the scheduling for the kid's ministry. I am one of the teachers for our K-4th grade Sunday School class and I help with Children's church during service. Noah helps lead the youth Sunday School class and I got to chaperone our youth camp back in June. We took on hosting our community group every Sunday night for a while until we recently started meeting at our church building. All this definitely gives me a lot more to do with my days and I have loved being more involved with our church.  At the end of June, I took my friend Alyson and her friend Mar to a Sunfl

Our Little Wedding Plans

  Hey there, It’s been a little while since I’ve written, but boy do I have news! I’ve been extremely busy this week, and I’d like to tell you why. As you may know, I’ve been living in Georgetown with Sarah and taking care of her daughter, Katie, since late May. But a couple of weeks ago, it was decided that it was time for me to move on. I had no clue where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do. Or rather, I had my dream, but I knew it wasn’t possible. Noah and I were supposed to have gotten married in July, and I was still hoping that would happen soon. However, COVID has been making that quite complicated—possible, but complicated.  If this dream couldn’t come true, I knew that I wanted to stay in the area, and I knew that I didn’t want to move into someone’s basement again. God arranged some great people to help me search for a place and someone to rent with. We’re still sorting that one out. To buy me a little more time, my mom suggested I go to Quebec to visit family for a little
