Well, a great big apology to everyone. I’ve been home for nearly a month and haven’t sent anything out. I guess you could say I’ve been assimilating. Anyway.

Praise God for bringing me home safely. Also, true to his reassuring word, I have found a job. It’s not a breadwinner, but it’s a start. I’m also getting some good information about schooling. So all is falling together just as He promised.

I want to thank everyone who has helped this past year with prayer, finance, and moral support. There are some of you that helped recently and I haven’t thanked you yet, and this goes out to you as well, THANK YOU!!!

This has been an awesome year. One that I will definitely never forget. Want to take this time to update everyone on the tenative schedule for the next few months. This is going to be kind of quick and dirty as I am heading out to Rockbridge for a Young Life leadership and committee weekend in about an hour. Anyway, here goes.

First, the website is in transition. Since arriving home I’ve begun work on a whole new website. This one is going to be great. It will eventually be a page where people can hang out and exchange ideas and questions, post pictures, and see my pictures, updates, and shenanigans as well. I will post pictures of the things that happen daily, whether it be with the church, friends, family, or just interesting shots. I will also have a place for written art. Needless to say, I found a system that is a breeze to work with. I just have to get it set up.

Second, I have some tentative travel plans over the next year. Firstly, I’m considering a trip to a conference in Malaysia, May 31 - June 6. This is another conference with Dr. Jonathan David, this time it is in his home country. On faith, I’m going to start purusing the finances for this, however, it may not even be a possibility with my work schedule, but I know that if its something He’s prompting me to move on, then if I move, it will happen.

Third, I would like to start pursuing men and women, young and old, familes and singles, who would be interested in travelling in a small group back to Wuhan to spend 1 - 4 weeks experiencing not only China, but God’s heart for the Chinese people as evidenced through Gift of Joy. If you seriously have a heart for China and are asking God for a way to touch and radically change the lives of the children (and their families), I would ask you to please contact me. (I personally know that I am not called to work at Gift of Joy long term. However, I truly feel that God is pressing me to spread the vision on to others even while in the midst of preparing for my future.)

Fourth and final, I am currently working to get my outstanding bills paid and my debt back to zero. Having a job is going to help that alot. However, to supplement my job, I am now offering to all of those local to the Covington/Alleghany county area a computer repair and setup service. I can clean, organize, and set up new PC’s, as well as install and troubleshoot most hardware. If I can’t fix it, I’ll tell you. Obviously, for legal reasons, I can only accept donations. So please put the word out. I’ll set up an ad with contact info on my website once I get it set up. For right now, if you oro someone you know needs computer service, email me or call me at 691-9100 and I will, at my earliest convenience, make arrangements to come and assess the problem.

Well, that pretty much wraps it up. I hope you all have a great weekend. Please pray for my energy and motivation.

Love you all!
