I got home from IL this past Wednesday. I drove much of the trip in an ice storm coming across Iowa/Western IL - couldn't go much faster than 35-40 mph on the interstate for quite a stretch. I was so thankful to get to drier pavement :) I praise the Lord for the safety He granted me on the roads! Thanks to those of you who were praying for me!
On Thursday afternoon, I had the privilege to visit/help in a Good News Club at a public school in Milwaukee. A group from a supporting church of mine is involved there and had invited me to attend. Praise the Lord that at least 3 children came to Christ that afternoon!
I have one more meeting this month before I head out to SD. Lord willing, I will be driving down south of Chicago for a Wednesday evening service.
Also, please be in prayer as a group of my friends and I are planning another trip into Madison to help provide food - physical and spiritual :) - to some of the homeless there.
That about wraps it up for now!
Have a great day!

SGI update
Thanks for those of you who were praying for me this past week as I was at the SGI conference in MI! I had a wonderful time :)
There were nearly 340 college students/young adults in attendance, and it was nice to be able to catch up with some old friends as well as make some new ones! The preaching sessions, prayer times, and workshops were such a challenge to me! There were speakers from seminaries, churches, and missions fields around the world. It was so wonderful to see so many young people with a passion for world missions!
Your prayers were especially appreciated yesterday as I drove home from Detroit. I spent most of the trip driving through our latest mid-west snowstorm (which was especially bad around Northern Indiana and Chicago). Praise God for safety!
Lord willing, I'll be heading down to Danville, IL tomorrow for a meeting on Sunday. Again, please keep me in your prayers!
Also, please pray for my sister, Sarah. She, along with a small group from my church, left today for a mission's trip in Peru! Please pray for them as they have the opportunity to serve the Lord there!
Hope you have a great day!

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.
