(Left to Right- Me, Joseph, and Mary- my bestie!) |
On Saturday, I ran in an orienteering relay which was quite fun. Our team got 3rd out of 11 teams! No awards just bragging rights. We also went bowling and watched the UofL basketball game. Then I scooted on back to MI where it was cold! (60s to 20F) Note I said "was cold". Today was warm!!! We hit 51F! For us that's amazing. At lunch time we all flooded out of the building and ate lunch there, played soccer, and some played softball. Then unfortunately we had to go back inside.
Waiting for our leg of the relay. It's a little chilly/ windy. |
School update:
We finished riveting our wing skin on! Now we just have to redo some rivets, prime and paint it, and put a grip step on it. We're also working on installing a plexiglass/ plastic window on the same airplane. In electricity class we are taking apart alternators and later we are putting them back together. Bad thing is I already did this for my car! Good thing is- I know what I'm doing for the most part.
Another thing we have coming up soon are General and Airframe Oral and Practical exams. These are huge major exams and are over everything we have already learned. Pray that I will be diligent with studying and that I won't be worried about them .
Home update!
OUR ADOPTION IS HAPPENING! Right now my parents are traveling to Ethiopia to meet the kiddos (Hasset-girl 6 and her brother Yeabsira- 10)! They are going to do mostly paperwork and get visas and such. In a month or two (?) when the kids get the visas and medical checkups and such then my parents will pick them up and bring 'em home! I'm excited! Praise the Lord.
Now I'm behind one week on the catechism (sorry) but I'll catch up later this week hopefully.
LORD’S DAY 12
31 Q. Why is he called “Christ,” meaning “anointed”?
31 Q. Why is he called “Christ,” meaning “anointed”?
A. Because he has been ordained by God the Father and has been anointed with the Holy Spirit1 to be
our chief prophet and teacher2 who fully reveals to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our deliverance;3 our only high priest4 who has delivered us by the one sacrifice of his body,5 and who continually pleads our cause with the Father;6 and our eternal king7 who governs us by his Word and Spirit, and who guards us and keeps us in the freedom he has won for us.8

32 Q. But why are you called a Christian?A. Because by faith I am a member of Christ1 and so I share in his anointing.2 I am anointed
to confess his name,3 to present myself to him as a living sacrifice of thanks,4 to strive with a free conscience against sin and the devil in this life,5 and afterward to reign with Christ over all creation
for eternity.6
We are called Christians because we are followers of Christ and we identify with Him. He died for our sins and we are saved through him. In our salvation we have the hope of eternal life with God in heaven. And the only way to God is through Christ- pure and blameless because he took the wrath that we deserved for our sins and interceded for us as the great high priest that reigns forever. Oh what a glorious day it will be when we get to see our Lord face to face and gaze upon His beauty!
