Tiny Update

We’re on our lunch break. Payton is taking his Ruth/Eccl/Song of Solomon test (I’m proctoring). We have two more electives this afternoon, Wednesdays being our long days. All that my weekend was is on paper in my binder waiting to be turned in. I believe that I can safely say that this weekend of homework–one […]

Back in the Swing of Things!

Back in the Swing of Things!

I can’t believe that September is almost over. I have barely had time to write anything more than the necessary papers and essays. We’ve started Hermeneutics 1 and Evangelism in a Postmodern World. Both of these classes are intense and exciting, challenging every area and corner of our thinking. If I had to use a […]

In the Beginning, God…

In the Beginning, God…

So, we’ve officially made it through the first week of school! The curriculum is chronological, moving from Genesis through Revelation with the understanding that each book builds upon another. You cannot understand Exodus until you understand Genesis, and so on and so forth until you realize that Christ cannot be understood in fullness until you […]

To Michigan, Part 2

To Michigan, Part 2

The second half of the adventure began once we arrived back at NTBI from my parents’ house. There was stuff EVERYWHERE. We didn’t really have any furniture to put things on, we didn’t even have a bed. I started to arrange kitchen items because I had cabinet space for them. I hadn’t gone shopping, so […]

To Michigan, Part 1

I am not even sure I could begin to untangle the web of events that started a week ago this morning. For the sake of keeping all of my dear friends in Colorado informed, I’ll give it a whirl. Tuesday morning we headed out from the Springs, our car piled so high and riding so […]

Arrival

We did, in fact, arrive at New Tribes Bible Institute in Jackson, Michigan, but only after driving straight through from Colorado Springs. I swore I wouldn’t, because I hate driving long hours, but apparently God had other plans. We ended up having to continue our drive because of huge storms in Iowa that would have […]

Let the Journey Begin!

We leave the lovely state of Colorado tomorrow morning at 7am with our friend, Garran. I think I might just cry as the mountains fall out of view. I will miss the fresh mountain air and being able to drive an hour and escape into the woods. Today was filled with packing. We’re exhausted to […]

The summer’s bounty has been incredible this year, has it not? I am currently snacking on some chard, spinach and green beans from the garden–you know, the one I almost didn’t plant this summer. The past few nights we have eaten sauteed squash for dinner, the patty pan being my personal favorite. I also have […]

A few summer things

(Please don’t be offended by the picture before you read the post!) So, studying Hebrew has it’s benefits besides just the beauty of the language itself and the deeper understanding of the Jewish culture. People are always coming up to me and wondering what I’m studying–it probably looks like I’m making up my own alien […]

Midway

So, we’ve already hit the half-way mark in our summer, which is truly hard to believe! We spent the last few weeks preparing for our church youth group’s summer missions trip to Paonia, Colorado. We spent last week on the actual trip. I was granted the responsibility of cooking for the group, which was a […]
