Graduation Season. :)

Last weekend my family went to Bowie Texas to watch my sister Courtney and her classmates graduate from the Baptist Bible Translators Institute ( BBTI ).

All of these wonderful people have felt the call of God to be a missionary. I cannot give their names because most of them are headed for hostile territory around the world. But I was given permission to post this picture.

Each one of these students studied and worked hard all year long to be able to complete the tasks before them. And now they are each going their separate ways, following the calling that God has placed on their hearts. 

I was so privileged to meet each one of them.

The BBTI is an amazing school. It focuses on teaching missionaries or mission minded individual how to go anywhere in the world and learn the language effectively and efficiently, how to analyze that countries culture, how to translate a Bible into their original language, and how to reach them with the Gospel on their level.

This is an amazing school and is very effective in what they teach. I strongly recommend that you look into this school.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

 

 This is my Mom.

My Mom is a great mom. There is no other mom like her in the world. She is the one who knows me best.

When I was unsaved she prayed for me. She never gave up and always believed that I would grow up and know God. Even when I got angry with her, she loved me anyways. 

 My mom loves to have fun. :) As you can see we had a lot of fun taking these pictures.  I look ridiculous in the picture above. What is it that I am doing? A bad fish face?

Anyways......... I can always have fun with my mom. As I have gotten older, she has become my friend. I am very thankful for that.

 My mom is a great encourager. Whenever something happens to me she always tells me to be strong. Even when I don't want to be encouraged, and I just want to pout like a baby on my bed, and eat chocolate, and listen to sad music. yeeesh! She never lets me get away with anything. :)

And my Mom loves God. She tries her best each day to live her life according to His word. She tries her hardest to teach me and my siblings to follow the Lord where ever He leads. Sometimes she wants to give up, but by the grace of God she hasn't. I am very thankful for my mom.

Tell me about your mom! I would love to hear how she has blessed your life. Just post a comment below. :) :)
