A Busy Summer!


The kids finally finished school a few weeks ago. Thankfully we are done with year-round school schedules for good! The city has transitioned all year-round schools to traditional schedules.

We spent last week outside Sacramento at a camp for Mien (a people group that lives mainly in Southeast Asia, but also in the US and Canada) teenagers. We "adopted" the Mien when we were part of Forefront and have continued our commitment to them at Verve. Vince was the main speaker; it was a blast. The best part was that Dawson got baptized! After much thought, prayer and lots of good questions he decided to get baptized with 29 Mien kids on Friday.

I still haven't received any test results. I have an appointment in the middle of August; I'm still having issues and can't drive...ugh!

If you've been reading my blog, you know that I have a passion for human trafficking. I felt sure that God was leading me to get my Master's Degree in Counseling or Social Work. Some things happened that made me think that maybe He wasn't leading me in this direction, so I kind of gave up on it. Well, God has made it pretty clear that this is what I'm supposed to do after all.

I'm in the very beginning stages of checking out schools (I'm hoping to get my degree online), requirements, tuition, etc. Do you know of any scholarships for moms going back to college, and/or pastor's wives, and/or anything?! Also, I'm looking at Regent or Liberty right now. Any thoughts on either of those, or an online program that I'm not thinking of? Thanks!
