While our times change, God never changes

Hello to all of my friends and family,

It's been awhile, as usual, since I have updated you. Lots and lots have been happening lately and God has been so incredibly gracious and faithful.

My last update was in the spring. Since then, I graduated! Awesome! I finished flight training and  maintenance school and walked across that stage.

I was blessed with a job flying airplanes immediately after graduation. I have been flying Cessna 206's for an aerial survey company and building up hours and experience. God has been faithful in keeping me safe. Also, another thing about this job that is rare for a starting aviation job is that it pays fairly well.

Below is a picture of just one of the planes I have been flying.

Some really exciting things have been happening in my personal life as well. This spring, I began courting an amazing young lady from Helena. Her name is Bethany Ticknor. We have been very prayerful through the relationship and our hope is that however things progress, that God would be glorified in all of our actions. She loves The Lord with all her heart and her heart is in missions. Her family has a really awesome lifestyle! Check out their blog here: http://ticknortribe.com. 

Now that I have graduated, you might ask what the next steps are in there journey. Right now, I almost have all of the preliminary items, technically speaking, to begin working with JAARS. After a very informative consult flight with them this Spring, I feel very positive about flying with them in huge future. My BIGGEST obstacle right now is debt. I have a lot of student debt and I'm trying to figure out the best way to responsibly pay it off in a timely matter. 

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.

I would appreciate prayer in the following areas.

Pray that God would continue to provide for the large financial load on my shoulders

Pray for continued favor and safety in my new job

Pray that Bethany and I would be attentive to the Lord's leading

Pray for perseverance and determination in the journey to the mission field
