WELCOME to my weblog!

Welcome to my weblog! It's pretty exciting!!! Thought I would start a little online journal while I am searching for jobs and God's direction for my life .

Here's a copy of the email I sent out in May about my situation... kind of a flashback weblog entry...

Friends - As some of you probably know by now, my last day at William Jewell College is May 31. I have been praying about this decision for some time, and only until recently have received much affirmation from God and others that I was where I was supposed to be. Only in the last month I began to see that it might be a possibility - and in the last couple weeks God made it clear that it’s time to move on.

While the timing of this is a bit unexpected, I believe that God led me to WJC, and he will lead me on. He has great plans for us all. And during this transition time for me, I greatly appreciate your prayers as I seek God’s fresh direction.

Future plans? Not sure yet, but I still want to do campus ministry somewhere. I love working with college students, and I feel that I have been gifted to do so.

I will miss the students and staff at William Jewell very much, but as I said, through it all, I have sensed God’s presence and direction. I truly believe that God led me here in 1997, and he affirmed that by giving so much fruit to this ministry. And now I believe he will lead me elsewhere - so I am not alone in this at all. At the same time, if you know of any leads, please let me know!

Well, that’s the long story short… I’m happy to share more if you like - just drop me a line.
