It has been a whirlwind of a summer! We just came off of a great few weeks exploring the river! Mike and I enjoyed leading a youth group from Wausau, Wisconsin on a week of canoeing. The trip included paddling over 40 miles of river, spotting many bald eagles, and enjoying fun rapids with only a few canoes tipping. We also really enjoyed seeing young students have a desire for God's word and God's creation. We praise God for the safety and spiritual growth that happened in the students lives as well as our own. Thank you for the many of you that have been praying for our safety on the river- God has certainly been our protector and provider.
We only have two weeks left of family camp and then we phase into fall. What does that look like for Mike and I? Well, classes start very quickly. Mike will begin learning more of the philosophy of ministry and he will also start writing a lot more papers. I will be tagging along to as many of the classes that I can; I am also looking into substituting however, I must get certified here in Wisconsin. We are praying that that process will not be a large headache.
Next week we are looking forward to seeing Mike's parents as they come and visit for family camp. We are also blessed to see the Carlson's and Aunt Ruth up here next week! We are hoping to teach them how to play the board game called Settlers! That has become a favorite form of entertainment for us at camp! We also hope to see many more of you up here before the end of the year!
Here are a few ways you can be praying for us:
1) Endurance to fight the good fight!
2) Wisdom as we sort through God's calling for our life (futuristic- next year).
3) Financial funds will not become a burden.
In these weeks ahead we are truly holding to these words of scripture:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
