I just graduated from Baptist College of Ministry with a Bible major and Music Pedagogy minor. The Lord has provided the opportunity for the school year of 2014-2015 to serve as a short-term missionary in Bolivia, where I will be home schooling missionary children and learning to communicate in Spanish. God has also given me a deep desire to write fiction for young people, and I am honing the talent little by little so that He can eventually use it for His glory.
OK, back after a while, but I've been CRAZILY busy. My dad bought a house along with another guy to fix up and resell. We had to scrub mold off the walls from water damage, a man in my church helped us plaster and texture the walls, and now tomorrow I'll be doing lots of painting . . . and listening to audiobooks (either Tuck by Stephen Lawhead, which I started a while back but got sidetracked on other books, or Point Blank by Anthony Horowitz).
On a side note, here are three of my newest movie favorites:
"Fireproof" was amazing and I loved it, except for some of the music that doesn't meet my personal standards. "Come What May" and "Pendragon" were both made by homeschooling families! "Pendragon" is probably my favorite one because of all the action, though some parents may want to preview it before showing it to very young children; the battle scenes are intense, but not bloody. Here's something interesting I learned today: the beautiful score was composed by the talented actors and brother-sister duo, Aaron Burns (Artos) and Marilyn Burns (Wenneveria). Another good Christian film I have not yet seen is "The Widow's Might."
