Oh My

I have not written in over a month!!! What has happened! I have little access to internet, so here is my short summary.

Ladies Ladies Ladies
  
     We had our final ladies night and it was a hit. Over 20 women showed up to learn about how to find their prince charming. We had mocktails and dressed in black and white and it was so much fun! Several girls said how it was what they needed to hear ( we talked about ephesians 5 and raising expectations) and Curtis Martin even commented on a picture that was posted on facebook! The women's movement has really been going well this year at Bradley!

    Also in the women's department, I have been so blessed to continue to grow closer to some of the girls. I know they will be so excited when we have the baby and I have several volunteers for babysitting!

Mary's Heart
  
     This Advent I have been reading a book about Mary and trying to grow closer to her heart as I wait and prepare to be a mother. It has been a beautiful journey and is preparing me for Christmas AND being a mother. She was a such a great wife and mother.

Jacob

    Jacob has been working so hard this past month. He has been getting ready for our conference (registration just ended last week).  He has been meeting with many of the men on campus and I think he has a little fan club developing. And he has been trying to re-arrange his schedule to have more time with me so the adjustment will be a little more smooth when baby gets here.
    He is a great missionary and husband and I know manyof the guys look up to him and also admire his uniqueness. Several students call us mom and dad and I just love it because we pray for them often and consider them like spiritual children.

Break

   Right now we are in Madison and just got to make a gingerbread train with our nephews! We leave for Florida on Christmas to visit his siter and then we will come back and make a stop in Decatur to visit my family! It is so great to be with family and have some time to reflect on how great our job is.

Well so much for a short post.  God is blessing us too abundantly to keep it short! :)  Merry Christmas to all!
