This summer has been so crazy and amazing in many different ways. I am sorry I have not kept you all up to date better. So here is my attempt to start updating everyone on my summer. I am going to work backwards. Starting with the latest adventure in Alaska all the way back to when I moved from Eugene to Anchorage.
The nearly four weeks I have been in Alaska have been awesome, busy, crazy, interesting and completely new in so many ways. Living in Alaska is finally, slowly beginning to feel real.
Since arriving in Alaska I have seen many prayers answered, added many new prayer requests to the list, and had many great adventures. I have been on several different hikes since arriving and those have been outstanding. I also had the opportunity to fly with a friend from church over the valley north of Anchorage and the Knik Glacier.
Working with Skilled Missions: Alaska has been great. Getting a schedule made and routine down has been a challenge. Yet, progress is being made. I am slowly getting involved with a church here. I am trying to slowly pick and choose when and what I will get involved in. I do not want to say yes to too many things then be overwhelmed with a crazy schedule.
A huge prayer request was answered when I got a job teaching CPR. This job will allow me to make money with a flexible schedule. Because my boss is also my boss for Skilled Missions I also have his blessing to take off to do ministry when needed.
This is my life. The crazy, awesome life I get because of the crazy awesome God I serve. Please keep praying for me as I seek to make my life a reflection of Christ. Pray for me as I need a clear schedule for my own sanity and in order to be efficient as possible in ministry. I am sure there are many other things I need prayer on, but right now I cannot remember any other specific requests.
Thank you for your prayers and support in this journey. It has been amazing, but not without it’s challenges. Stay tuned as I walk back through my summer.
