From MT to PA to SA and Tanzania


I left my beloved home of 9 months that caged me in a small room (with a great roommate) and went to Parkesburg PA to see my beautiful friend Emmy and meet her new soon Chase! Emmy's whole family is my family so it has been a wonderfully relaxing time but in a few hours I am on a plane off to South Africa via London (please pray - heavy security right now).

This is where I will be based for the next couple years (isn't it beautiful) ....

And this is where I will be going ... Tanzania but I hope I don't look this silly when I teach! heheheheh. What a life I get to live for God huh!! Not bad!

SBS - Graduation


It is all such a blur. I remember crying after this first pic was taken because it meant that it was all coming to an end. I so love these people. What an impact they have all had on my life. Our leader (Dr - as we called him) Sean Ellis had incredible things to say about all of us. Of me he said I was the social glue of the school, including everyone in all that was going on and yet still kept in my studies and worked hard. Yep ... I knew how to party and I knew (okay God knew) how to get me to knuckle down and do the work.
This was one of the most incredible times of my whole life. I truly thank God for each day I had in His word. I mean who gets to spend that much time just reading God's word. What a blessing. We should all be so blessed.
Thank you all for getting, keeping me here and helping me get through.

SBS - When all is said and done


The day came ... I never thought I would make it here but the last book is handed in. There were 2030 builds (mini teachings) around 4500 hours of study, 200 cups of coffee, great friendships and mind-blowing revelations. End result ...I LOVE THE WORD OF GOD - it is life!!Someone asked me to sum up all that I have learnt - sum up the bible and here it is ...LOVE GOD WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE and LOVE OTHER PEOPLE ...Everything else in the bible is just showing you how to do it.Read it ... it is surprising great!!
