Hello everyone,
I hope that this update finds you all doing well. I hope that everyone's summers were relaxing and fruitful. I know that mine was.
After summer school I had the privilege of going to Alaska in the Bristol Bay Area to commercial fish salmon. I have a friend in school who owns a boat and permit and he had me as crew on his boat. It was ton of fun and full of excitement and adventure as well as hard work. After the month on the boat I spent a month on the beach with his in-laws who happen to be O'Connors. I fished with them and also got to work on their airplanes and fly with them and that was a blast.
God allowed me to see some beautiful things and have some incredible experiences. I came back to school not really wanting to leave Alaska or wanting to start again, but I know that this is my last year and I need to finish strong.
This semester is going to be a tough one. I have 19 credits and several extra curricular type activities like Ensemble and the NIFA Sting Flight Team. Next semester will not be any less hectic with my Oral and Practical exams for my A&P license. There are several things that I would love to have prayer for.
I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the fact that I really do not know what the next step is after I graduate. I have some options but at the moment I am just praying and waiting for Christ's leading. This is the first time in my life that I have not known exactly what the next step is and I am having a hard time trusting God with the intricacies of my future. Another thing that I could use prayer for is motivation. I am a typical senior and I just need some encouragement to push forward and finish strong.
My contact information is below if you want to send me anything or call me and my number has also changed again.
