Cool Things Happening!



This has been a week of being spoiled by the Father. Some really exciting things have happened!

Christmas
A really generous friend didn't like the idea of me not being home for Christmas, so he bought me a plane ticket home for the holidays. Yahoo!! It means I'll get to see my sister who lives in the Middle East and her husband, who will be home for the holidays - as well as Jenny, James, and my two nephews Luke and Hamilton in South Carolina. Then, on top of that, dad was able to use frequent flyer miles to get me the second leg of the flight in the US. It's weird going from planning on not being home for the holidays, to it all of the sudden being a reality.

Housing
It also looks as though I'll likely have free housing starting in January thru the rest of my program, thanks to JBU. The pictures above are of the place. There are still some final details to sort out - but, if it works out, it would be a huge blessing financially for the rest of the year.

Finances
I finally got my money from the Fed'l loans - I'm headed to the bank to deposit it this morning. It's not a ton, but definitely plenty to live on - for which I'm very thankful to the Lord.

Off to my list of errands for the day, but wanted to get a quick post off first. Blessings!
