May 06 '06 - update

One more week of this semester left to go. I have written 2 of the 5 papers that I had to write since the last update. I still need to write the Greek paper (due next Friday) and 2 of the reflection papers (on "let the nations be glad" & "through the gates of splendor").

It is hard to believe that I almost have 1 year of seminary finished. I was able to sign up for my classes for this summer semester and for next fall already. This summer I will be taking:

"Studies in Apologetics" 6/5/2006 to 6/9/2006 (this is an elective course)
"Strategies for Youth Evangelism" 6/19/2006 to 6/23/2006 (also an elective)

In the Fall I will be taking:

Elementary Hebrew (at 7am Tuesday - Friday...ouch)
Systematic Theology III (on Tuesday nights)
Marriage and Family Enrichment (on Monday nights - Andrea comes to this class with me)
-------------------------------------------------
Things we are praying about:
We will be moving very soon after I get back from the Romania trip (7/23/06) and we are looking for a place to live. The place we are staying at now is nice but it is too expensive, we are looking for a place that has similar square footage but is about $150-$200 cheaper. Laura will be going to pre-school next fall and we will need this extra money to help pay for that (how crazy is that - Laura in pre-school?)

Our community group... Our pastor here in Louisville is moving out of our group to start another group from his home - just pray that our group stays strong and that we will be able to reach out to our apartment complex, inviting people into our group and inviting people into a relationship with God.

Strength for the home stretch (of this semester)... One more week to go in this semester and I have 2 finals and 1 more major paper to write. This past week I didn't get to work at all because of all of my school work. We know that this will catch up to us financially but we have faith that God will provide.
-------------------------------------

Lord willing, we will be down at least a couple of times this summer. My mom will be watching the girls while I take my classes and while I am in Romania (we are looking for someone up here to watch the girls for one of the weeks I am in class so we don't have to make 3 trips to GA at $3+ per gallon).

Thank you guys for praying for us and thanks for keeping up with us on our Bragg mission update page.
