Stephen has switched jobs from working at Pacific home and kitchen to working with maintenance on campus. This has been SUCH a blessing for both of us! When we think of the Lord's sovereignty over the past year, one thing that waves huge in our face is the fact that Stephen got a "random" job at Best Buy last year selling appliances where he learned an absorbent amount of information about ordering appliances, fixing appliances, and the special uses and functions of both small and large appliances. This "random" knowledge has proved invaluable to the maintenance team as he was the only one who knew how to efficiently order and repair appliances in the on campus apartments. His skill set has a little bit of everything when it comes to in home repair so he was perfect for the job and I have been hearing from other staff what a wonderful addition he has been to the team and how quick things are getting done.
One funny thing is that Stephen added on a Historical Theology degree to his M.Div so when we leave here, we will be leaving with every degree they offer(!!) This is a huge blessing for us as well because it allows us to take Greek this year and Hebrew next year instead of taking them consecutively this year. We pray that this will equip us as we study historically, theologically, biblically, and linguistically to go forth into missions. In the midst of that all, I have had mental conflicts about life this month ( read here ) but the Lord has remained faithful to humble me, preserve me, care for me, and love me.
