August 31 began the start of the fall semester. I have a larger class load than my first semester with harder classes. Should be a challenge and encourage me to longer times of prayer.
Cameron is now in the first grade. Elle will be doing a summer short term pre-school (Lord willing) and Tyler is just having the time of his life with his big brother and sister.
Ann is doing an awesome job of managing the household (Titus 2:5 something every Christian woman should be is a "worker at home" - not that women can't go out and have jobs - but they must maintain their biblical responsibility at home and not outsource it to others) It's a function and a privilege to serve God in this way, and one of the highest honors bestowed upon women. Men don't get off the hook though, as the buck stops with them - being called to provide for their family, being the spiritual leaders of their home and the one who serves and loves their wife as Christ did the church. Another backwards role given societal stigmas. Christian men though see it as a function and privilege to serve our families as we serve the Lord.
As an intern at Calvary Bible Church, I get to attend the elder meetings and weekly prayer times. Last night we had a beautiful example of the men discussing a sensitive subject, with many of them personally connected and they handled it with grace and preference to others. It was a great example to me. All those at Calvary should thank the Lord for raising up such men who act with integrity behind closed doors!
Please keep us in your prayers that we may grow in our love for Jesus and the proclamation of and obedience to His word.
