Somehow We Keep Marchin On: part 2

There were 11 weeks of Lecture and each week we had a different speaker.
Some of my favorites were Dan Baumann, he spoke on Hearing the voice of God, and he talked a lot about his testimony. He was imprisoned in Iran, and boy did he have stories.
Then there was Jerry Preatzel…. Plumbline.   I wish I could tell you what plumbline is, but I cannot. If you really would like to know because your curiosity is peaked, then I guess you’ll just have to do a DTS or CDTS ;] 

But Plumbline was life altering, to be sure.

Phil Gazley, Colleen Millstein, Matt Rawlins, I learned more than most folks do in a lifetime…. I am still trying to process all of it. 

Today is my 19th birthday.
“19 years is too short a time to live among such fine folk. I don’t know half of you half as much as I should like. And I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” I was given a beautiful ukulele and a new Pair of TOMS :]

Today my Team is in an unmentionable country, and I worry about them, only a little. I just long to be with them today more than anything…..


God please Bless Addy today. Fill her with your Holy Spirit, and show her something new today. I love her, she is such a huge blessing to me!

God be with Eric, give him the opportunity to become the leader today. Fill him with encouragement, understanding, and discernment. Ah! God I love him so much! Thank you for the huge blessing and inspiration he is to me. Bless him.

Please allow me to be as good of a sister to her as she has been to me. Thank You Thank You!
