Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all my friends, family, enemies (if I have any of those), and anyone else. It's been quite a year; as I look back, many things have happened, and God has provided in so many ways.
To start, my life truly changed on February 11, when, I finally put my trust in Christ as the only way to be saved. It is great to finally have the assurance that I know where I will go when I die.
Another life changing event was my engagement to Renae, on July 20th. We have been dating now for over two years; during this time we have gotten to know each other very well. We will be getting married on June 14th. We hope to see many of you there to witness the start of our new life.
On Mother's Day, I was able to preach a message at Bethel Baptist Church. I have been attending this church since I started college. It was really exciting, to be able to put into practice everything that I have been learning at school. I serve consistently in the Tech Ministry at Bethel, making sure all the slide shows are ready for the services, and that sort of work.
I have just finished my seventh semester at Pacific Baptist College, and have one more semester left. I am scheduled to graduate on April 30th, with a degree in missions. Renae and I plan to get involved full-time in church ministry after our wedding.
As for Renae, she has been working at Stremmel's, a local greeting card store. The store also has a Post Office Express in it; so for the past month she has been really busy. She spends her free time hanging out with me, and planning for the wedding.
This year has be really wonderful for us, and we look forward to see how God will continue to provide for us this next year. We would like to wish to all a Merry Christmas, and God blessing on your next year.
accident
Well, just to keep everyone informed, whoever actually read my webpage, consistently. (Renae, Tim, Nick, Pastor Kirkland). I was in a hit and run accident monday night on my way home from work. I got clipped coming off the freeway and then the driver took off. I started to follow him (well it may have been a her, i don't know?) but the worst part about it was that the mini van had no license plate. Great isn't it. My front fender has a scrape and a dent. I was not injured so that was good and well, the truck, it's still running good, just a little damage. I reported it to the police but a lot they can to with no plates. O well, I guess that is why the call them accidents; it could have been much worst for my first accident.
Finally Finished
Well, I have just finished my last final of this semester. I have one semester left until I graduate. I can't wait. But for now, 4 weeks off. In that time I will be able to go home to San Francisco for a week. I will be spending Christmas with my fiancée and her family. It will be exciting, tomorrow and Sunday I will be helping with the tech aspects of Bethel's Christmas Cantata. Starting monday, I will be able to get some rest.
New Link
Well, I haven't blogged for a while. I have been working on a website for my church, it's is up and running now feel free to take a look. There is a link for it in the sidebar, just click on "Bethel", or here.
