Justin starts his 2nd semester of school today!! I know I say this a lot – but this semester is going to be so challenging. During first semester they would generally not have classes in the afternoon (unless it was his groups turn to dissect). This semester they have classes in the afternoon almost every day!! They have all the same classes as last semester plus one more – Neuro. They have also have more tests this semester – LOTS MORE!! But all this just means even less time together and even more time studying (even though that feels humanly impossible).
Justin is also a leader in RCF (Ross Christian Fellowship). He has to “preach” two times this semester. June 1st and July 27th (the Sunday after our 2nd Wedding Anniversary). Please put these days on your calendar so that you can remember to pray for him. Im not real sure when he will have time to prepare for these talks but the Lord knows because Justin and I both prayed very hard about the RCF position and we both felt strongly that this is what Justin is supposed to do. For instance, I was worried about Justin speaking. I didn’t have the confidence that he could do it. And then the Lord showed me this verse:
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12: 8-10
That is how I knew he was supposed to be a leader. God showed me that even though speaking is a weakness in Justin – that He actually delights in that so that HIS strength can be shown through Justin!!
God also showed Justin through different ways that he should take the position. God works in awesome ways right?? With God all things are possible!! (Just not easy!)
Also – we are trying to buy a car. We have been looking for about three weeks now for a dependable one. But we also want a cheap one!! I want to be able to pick up and go whenever I want to! For instance: the other night I wanted to make this dessert and I needed 5 bananas. Well – neither one of us wanted to walk 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back for 5 bananas. So I wasn’t able to make my dessert. That kind of thing happens all the time. Like Ill just be out of ONE thing for dinner but it will be too late to go get it because it gets dark here around 6:15ish and it takes so long to walk places you don’t have time to “run to the store” and pick up what you need. So please pray that God will provide a good dependable (not expensive) car!!
