Busy Beaver

It’s been already over a month since I came home which is unbelievable! I am back into the full swing of things with taking 5 classes at U of L and 1 class at Boyce College (the undergraduate division of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). I have a busy schedule with classes and homework and getting everything done but thankfully I have a nice weekly calendar with my classes only being on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I have not been able to fly much lately due to school work and other happenings so you can be praying for me in that way that I don’t get bogged down by the amount of homework I have to do. I pray for the strength to keep on doing well in school and not giving up. I will however be flying again on Wednesday- going on a cross country between Louisville, Frankfort, and Madison (Indiana).

A couple of weeks ago I got to go visit some awesome friends in Morehead, KY. I spent the weekend with Aaron and Jessica Mansfield. I got to share about my trip to South Africa and Lesotho on Sunday morning with one of their Sunday school groups. This was a great experience for me to be able to share what God has been doing in my life this past summer. The best part, however, was that the Mansfields live next to one of the main helicopter bases for their region. AWESOME!!! Just before I left to go back home on Sunday afternoon, Jessica and I wandered over to the house in which the pilots, paramedics, and nurses stay while on call. The company is called PHI Air Medical (Petroleum Helicopter Inc.).

We met the pilot, Gregg Gray and he showed us the helicopter and told us about what he does. We also found out that he was a pilot with the National Guard and so he gave me some information about that. This got me to thinking more about ways to get my training in becoming a more experienced pilot. I think after college I will look into going into the Air Force, National Guard, or another branch of the military where they would pay me to fly. This has great benefits because I would be able to get a lot of experience without getting into the deep dark pit of debt. However, there is one problem with flying for the military, my eyesight is not quite up to par to be able to fly. I may be able to get Lasik surgery but I am still contemplating all the issues with that. Please pray that whatever God’s will is that I will follow it and continue to trust in Him.

             

Well, that’s what has been happening lately on my end... 

Now, how can I pray for you? If you would like to email me to talk more about anything then send me a message at hagg.helen@gmail.com. 

I would love to hear what you have to say!

Fly with Christ,
