Pictures





































The last couple of weekends have been really great - I spent a week ago up in MN, and yesterday I was right here in WI. Both meetings went well!

Yesterday also wrapped up my fall meeting schedule. Tomorrow I head down to IL to spend a couple of weeks helping my grandparents. I also get to be involved with a supporting church down there! Then, December is a pretty slow month, but I have plenty of ministry projects to keep me busy here at home!

That's about it for news!

I've decided to add some pictures from the past month or so! A couple of the cats (and fish!), and a couple from the trip my sister and I took to Chicago (which was a very wet day!)

Hope you all have a great week!

More from the Midwest

The last few weeks have gone really well! A week ago Sunday I was over in Rockford, MN for services there. Outside of my presentation, I was also able to really get involved in the music ministry of the church.
From there I went to see my friend in the Minneapolis area. I was able to help her out by participating in both her high school and elementary band programs. It was so fun to be able to spend time with her! I think I spent about 4-5 hours on my saxophone that day :D

This past weekend my sister and I had a "sister weekend" in Chicago. We headed down Thursday morning and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle in the Chicago area for a few days. We spent all day Friday downtown - it was raining, but at least it wasn't too cold! And we still managed to have fun getting soaked (b/c of course my umbrella broke - too much wind!) :D
Then we spent all day Saturday at Six Flags - that was super fun :) We had a great time just spending with each other!

I was able to be in my home church Sunday, and I'm home for the week. Saturday, Lord willing, I'll be heading back over to MN for meetings on Sunday. Then I'll be back in the WI area before hopping down to IL for a few weeks.

I'm also rejoicing in the addition of another supporting church! Praise the Lord for that!
B/c of some necessary support adjustment, however, my support still remains at 63%.
But I now need only 11 more churches or individuals at $100/month in order to make full support! Please pray that this need will be met soon!

Thanks so much for your prayers!
Have a great day!

When the Rains Descend

When the Rains Descend
Go ahead and grab your umbrella, because in life, there will be times when you journey through the storms. You see, in this world in which we live, the rains will fall. That is a guarantee. Trials will come - and they are going to come to everyone. Just because you are a Christian, don't think for a moment that life is going to be easy. There will still be pain, sorrow, and heartache. The good news, however, is that, as a Christian, you do not have to weather these storms alone. You have a solid foundation in Christ.

When the Rains Descend is a collection of poems written to be an encouragement to you as you face the downpours of life. May you rest in the Lord and grow closer to Him day by day.
