Before I even start let’s just talk about the fact that it
has been almost a whole year since I have updated. I acknowledge it. And I
choose to blame it on the fact that we don’t have kids… not much to update
except for the ins and outs of work and school. (Okay and I blame it on my own procrastination.)
The title of this entry came to me, I am little embarrassed
to admit since I am just now writing this, in the fall. I was out running
errands one Saturday while Jacob was busy at the church (I think) and I found
multiple places in our new town without the use of a GPS. We have lived in
Texas almost 2 years but have only live in Denton since late July. Not long
after that Jacob made a statement of how much more Denton feels like home than
our previous town of Lewisville did. Denton has been such a blessing to us! We
love our house, which is a blessing in itself from how we found it, to our
wonderful landlords, to how close it is to the church. Being near our friends
and church family has been another blessing. We love the fellowship we have
found at Denton Bible and living close by has made a huge difference. It also
has a smaller town feel that we both love. We know we are in God’s will and
pray that we stay in it always.
I am thrilled to
announce that Jacob will be graduating from Dallas Seminary next May!! We are a
few short weeks away from the 1 year count down. I will also be graduating the
same day from BTCL (Bible Training Center for Leaders). This class has been an
amazing experience and I can’t wait to share what I am learning with others!
I am writing these last sentences to hold myself
accountable… I plan on writing at least once a month. At this point in our
lives I want to keep this updated for Jacob and I to look back on years from
now. In the future I think it will be more for keeping our families updated on
our lives.
