8 days left!... and some pictures for you..

Here's a few pics of what's been going on recently here. Not really representative of a 'normal' day for me, since that usually involves school work and such, but these are some of the highlights, anyway.


An abandoned 22-story hotel that Tim and I went exploring in one night. Not the brightest idea, but we had a good time. And the view from the roof was awesome!

Happy to be home

The last week has flown by. It is so nice to be back home. I've spent every minute possible with Naomi and my family, hanging out, playing games, going places and doing things... The weather is great, and it's really nice to be able to be outside without three layers of clothing on. I finally got to hear Naeem, Naomi's pastor at Mosaic Church, preach. I've been to Mosaic twice before, but both times they had guest speakers (coincidentally, both times the guest speakers were pastors from my church in Charleston, Seacoast). Naeem is a great preacher, and I look forward to hearing him again a few times before I have to head up to Raleigh. Speaking of church, if any of you think about it, I'd really appreciate prayer that I'd be able to find a good church family in Raleigh when I move up there. Seacoast has a campus in Greensboro, which is just over an hour away, but I'd like to find something a little closer.

God is so incredibly faithful and wonderful. I have no idea how people can go through their whole lives without the comfort and strength that comes from leaning on and trusting fully in Him. What a mighty God we serve!

Back Home

I arrived back in Waxhaw on Saturday evening around 6:30. It's so nice to be home! Seeing Naomi, Mom's wonderful home-made pizza, hanging out with the family, warm weather, motorcycle rides... there was so much stuff I've missed from here. I'll be around here for about three weeks, and then I'll report to the NROTC unit at NC State.
