Closing in...

So here's a brief school update...

Just two more weeks and I'll be finished with my bachelor's degree!  Two weeks ago, I finished the five online courses I was taking from Thomas Edison State College and I got A's in all of them, so my GPA will be a 4.0 when I graduate!  Right now I'm working on finishing my PLA (prior learning assessment) in Interpersonal Communications, which is basically a big writing project.  After that, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be doing, but I already have a couple of different job possibilities that I'm looking into and praying about right now.  I can't wait to see where the Lord will lead me during the next couple of weeks!

The Exciting News!!!

Well, I suppose most of you are wondering about my big news. Some of you know already, but I wanted to share this with the rest of my blogger friends as well. So, ready for the announcement? Okay, well here goes: I got a job in Japan as a trash man!!!! So maybe not… Maybe this will be a little more exciting.


Her name is Anna!

Anna Miriam Penney, actually.





Yep, we are officially in a courtship! As of Wednesday, September 8th, Anna and I began a committed relationship with each other, and we are both very excited to be beginning this time of life together. Anna is such a dear friend to me and I’m just thanking and praising God for bringing her into my life. We are both thrilled to be courting and are eagerly anticipating the months to come as we learn, grow and encourage each other. We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we walk this road and I’ll be sure to keep you updated as things move along.

Someday we’ll be able to share the whole story, but for now I just wanted to share the exciting news and ask for your prayers!

Rejoicing, praising, singing, thanking, and all of the above,

Joshua

Update and a Teaser! ;-)

Hey everyone!

Well, life is incredibly busy right now!  I'm taking midterms this week for my classes and trying to keep up with my normal class assignments, which means my brain is just about smoking, but it also means that I've reached the half-way point with my classes!  Yep, just six more weeks and I'll be done with my five online classes.  At that point, I'll just be working on my portfolio and I'll start looking for a full time job.  I honestly have no clue what kind of job I'm going to get, but I'm trusting that the Lord will lead when the time comes.  He hasn't failed to open doors for me so far and I firmly believe that He will continue to make His plan for my life known to me as it is within His plan to reveal it.  Actually, God has been doing a lot of revealing about His plan for my life in the past week...and maybe I'll tell you all about soon!  Actually, I think I will tell you all about it, but I can't quite yet!  Some of you know, but there is a very exciting story that I want to tell you all.  Be on the lookout for another post within the next week or so!

Later!

Joshua
