God's will

Don't you love it when you hear God's word "loud and clear." The message for today came from I Thess. 5:15-24. Our high school principal read us this passage in devotions this a.m. and then a few hours later I received it in a e-devotional called Prime Time with God (by the Church Growth Institute). The word for me was one God had given me many years ago but it's always good to be reminded. God's will for us is simple: Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in everything!

The rest of the devotional (by Os Hillman) was called "God's Preparation for Moving Out" (of course, that caught my eye! Mr. Hillman tells the story of how God prepared Jacob to leave Laban. He said "when God decides it is time to move you into a larger place of His calling, He has the ability to provide the resources you need to support the call." That was a great encouragement to me, not only relating to my physical move to a new apartment, but more important, my move back to BFA this past year.

God is so good to us! He leads and he provides the way.

A picture paints a thousand words

After posting to Xanga (www.xanga.com/mereeser is the site I use to stay in touch with BFA students) and writing a "Musings" I don't have many words left...but in the meanwhile, I thought I'd share some fun photos:


How I am going to miss this dear mentor!


Victory! Michele and I defeated two of BFA's best athletes! Ok, so maybe bowling is an "old lady" sport?



My soon-to-be new home!! (Come see me soon)

I'm having a hard time synthesizing my thoughts these days...So I thought I'd just post a couple of random shots...





Anyone care to guess where I was?

All I can say is life is good in Europe.
