Steven's Senior Year

On Wednesday (Aug. 29), our oldest son, Steven, began his senior year at Bob Jones University. How did this happen? I'm sure I am too young to have a kid this old, but the evidence says otherwise. The Lord has been faithful over the years so that his schooling could go on without interruption. This year will be another adventure of faith.

In July Steven's summer employment came to an unexpected end. In spite of many hours of searching, he could not find a replacement job. One of the hindering factors is that his only transportation is a bicycle. His seizure last Spring made him ineligible for driving until late October. As a result, his summer savings never materialized. My advice to him has been to draw nearer to God and rest in Him. He knows how the needs of the year will be met.

Steven is leaning toward a career in business where he could use his interests in language and perhaps building design. The latter is a newer field of interest that he has begun to explore at our encouragement. Teresa especially noticed his ability in this area as we drove through Charleston, SC this summer. Our continuing prayer for him is that the Lord would direct him and that he would love Him with all his heart, regardless of the career or ministry in which he may be involved.
