I've been quite busy lately. After Mexico, I managed to graduate from Grove City College, which was sweet. It was then I also learned of my acceptance to the Westminster Theological Seminary MDiv program, which I'm planning on doing this fall. It should be full of challenges, but I know that the Lord is my Rock, and my Guide. I cannot wait.
After Graduation, I visited Europe for 16 days with my brother Colin and sister Jade. It was a trip associated with GCC, so I was with fifty other students, faculty and parents. But it was still special. Colin, Jade, and I always found time to get away and make family memories. One of my most treasured memories was meeting up with my friend Adam Black, who attended GCC last fall semester, but transferred back to the Olde Countrie. I definitely missed him the last semester, so it was fantastic seeing him again. What a wonderful guy. I also, for the first time, witnessed the immense splendor and glory of the Alps. It was so majestic - and to think that the Lord created those...it blows my mind. That was just so cool to see. It made me feel so tiny, and finite. Such a good reminder of God's sovereignty.
After Europe, I came back to the States and visited Western PA with Jade for our friends', Chad and Mindy, wedding. What a beautiful couple. I was so honored to be there, and witness such godly love and committment. They are such a witness to God's love. I will definitely miss Chad, who will be in Kentucky at Southern for seminary. I'm really looking forward to seeing that couple grow in grace and love. God has beautiful things in store for them. Man. That was just a wonderful experience going to their wedding. God is good!
After the wedding, Jade and I returned to NJ and took off for North Carolina with the family for vacation times. That was AWESOME. It was so good to be with the family, especially with Colin going into the Naval Academy (in ...eesh! Six days?). It was a really good time of rest and relaxation. We laughed so much. What a blessing it is to recount that.
After vacay I started work as an auditor (just for the summer) for my father's business, Skyline New Jersey. It's pretty tedious work, but there's a simplicity to the monotony of it. I have air conditioning, and one of my good friends is working a room over from me, which is sweet.
There's a lot of summer to go, but I'll try to be faithful in posting.
Soli Deo gloria.
