Abigail – Class of 2014

It is with great excitement and praise to the Lord that we announce the high school graduation of Abigail! This amazing young lady has worked hard and now we look forward to see how God will direct her paths.Abigail graduated with MACHE, the Minnesota Association of Christian Home Educators. The ceremony was held at a church in the Twin Cities area. The day was so special, not only because we got to see her graduate and be involved in the ceremony, but also because God surprised us with a special blessing!

A note from the graduate:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

I want to thank you, Mom and Dad, for homeschooling me all through my school years, even when it was rough. You made it a good experience for me, and went above and beyond academic expectations by teaching me many different life lessons and about the Lord. Thanks to my grandparents for being wonderful grandparents, being supportive of me and for praying for me so much, among other things. Thank you to my siblings for being there for me and helping me. I love you all so much! Most of all, thank you, Jesus, for Your help. I could not have done it without you!

We love you and are so proud of you, Abigail!

praise God from whom all blessings flow

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

We’re used to counting our blessings more around November, right? But God is pouring them down all the time, so why not take time to make note of His goodness and thank Him all year round!

Dad was able to take a trip to Montana/South Dakota to record more testimonies for The Storyteller radio program. God really blessed, as he was able to record several testimonies, meet brothers and sisters in Christ, and see some of the work that God is doing in Native North America.

We praise God for the protection He gave and for the opportunities Dad had to both record people and hand out Storyteller CD’s. There were many blessing along the way. Thank you to all who were praying!
