Our new season!

Hello all!

Things have been interesting and quite fun in the past couple of months!!! We were able to go to Colorado and fundraise for SBS as well as spend some time resting and vacationing before the school starts!

While in CO we got to visit my brand new niece Ora as well as Judah (my nephew) and all of the Terbush clan! while there, my dad asked me to paint a cute table and chair set for the kiddo’s too which was oodles of fun!!!

And Emu’s chair!

Our fundraising time went really well = Thank God!!!! We were able to catch up with almost all of our supporters and raise all of the money that we need for the entire school! HOORAY!!!!!!!! There have been so many confirmations that this is the perfect timing for us to do this school! And I know that I definitely needed that because now that I have this amazing opportunity, I have no excuse to chicken out! :) So it is good to know that God is orchestrating this whole thing for us so we can sit back and trust him!!!

Another really cool thing that happened to us recently is that we were able to move into a nicer, bigger dorm room! While we were in CO, we asked that people would pray for us to be able to move into one of the new cabins on base next summer after they are built! But as people prayed for us, they began praying that God would even bless us with more space immediately! So we went home, and thought nothing of it but a few days later, the director of our housing committee approached us out of the blue asking us if we wanted to move into a bigger room! We looked at it and agreed! It feels like home now and not just a cramped room that we have to live in! I love it! Here is a quick tour of the room!

And finally, the dining room! The kit-kat clock was a wedding present from my dad!

Anyway, tomorrow is our first day of SBS and we would really appreciate your prayers as we start! Josh is super excited and I am getting excited but am slightly anxious of the unknown as always! So here are some prayer requests:

1. That we would get to know people quickly and not feel awkward (there are 50 other students in our class)

2. That we would understand the method of Bible study right off the bat so we can spend our time really digging into the word instead of worrying if we are doing our assignments wrong

3. That we would stay healthy as I especially tend to get sick when I am stressed

4. That we would have fun! This is an amazing time of being able to be with God and we want to be able to enjoy every minute of it

5. As my dad prayed for us before, that we would have a love for the subject! It is so much more fun to research something when you are passionate about it

Thank you guys so much for your unending prayers and support! This is going to be a really cool season for us so we will try to keep you posted as often as we can!
