Hi guys! I hope you had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving! I was able to spend some time with my Mom's side of the family, as well as my brother flew into town from Montana. I was very grateful to have that time with my family, and I thought in the spirit of thankfulness I would share some other things I am thankful for with you guys! I am number one very thankful for all of you and how you support me in ministry, and love me!
Classes and Learning
I am thankful for the opportunity to learn and take graduate level classes with some of my favorite people. Here we are after our last Old Testament class. We wrote a final paper on How should a Christian read and use the Old Testament? That was an interesting prompt that wrapped us up for the class!
Extra Family Time
The holidays for me mean some extra family time. I was extra blessed this month with my brother coming into town. He is one of my favorite people so I always feel lucky when I get to see him. Then also just with the ability of some of my family living closer I was able to watch my cousin play in one of his high school playoff games! I also was apart of my mom's wedding this month, so this month involved some extra family time which was very fun!

Student friendships
I am so thankful for how the ministry at Tarrant County College is going! I had the joy of getting to go watch one of students help out with tech in a play this past month. Then I am also just so thankful for our student leaders. This past month we had an event called Pizza Theo on a topic called " How to Think like a Christian", we were discussing different viewpoints of bigger topics. They committed their Sunday Night to learning heavier topics and going deeper into their faith! I am just constantly impressed by them!
