Praise God! He moved mightily at our camping retreat, Word in the Woods. Nov. 11-12 we studied the book of Jonah. We were able to find a solution to our cooking concerns with some creative meals. We had 14 AgIVers, several freshmen and transfer students new to our fellowship. We camped at Lake Somerville. Sadly, we couldn't see the lake from where we stayed because of the severe drought we've had. But we did have fun playing soccer in the lake bed and exploring the campgrounds.
Students identified with Jonah, how they run away from sharing God's good news. They identified with the Ninevites' desire to turn away from sin and turn towards holiness and God. And they received God's grace and power to head back to campus and respond to his invitation to mission.
Kyle and I drove to the Dallas area the Friday before Thanksgiving. We stayed with my parents and brother for the night, then flew into Birmingham, AL. We got to visit with Kyle's sister and brother-in-law, Allison and Tag, and our 2 nieces Emma and Aubrie. The girls were sick, but still adorable. After a few days, we flew back to Dallas, stayed with my family overnight, then drove to Texarkana, AR in time for Thanksgiving. We stayed with Kyle's mom, Robin, and her fiancee Floyd. Kyle's brother, Jason and Jason's girlfriend Kristal came to see all of us Friday. So it's been a family-filled week, catching up and eating tasty food.
Thank you for your prayers!
