It's been a while since I last posted and many exciting things have happened in the meantime. I'll give you the bullet-point version.
  • I graduated! On June 1st, 2010, I graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Sociology.
  • I moved out! My parents helped me pack my things and store my gobs of junk. Many thanks to them.
  • I was homeless! I stayed with my mom in her hotel and prayed for a place to stay for the summer because I hadn't thought that far ahead.
  • I went to see Robby Dawkins! He is a pastor from Illinois that I interviewed for my thesis on miracles. He was also featured in the movie Furious Love. Last Thursday (June 3rd) he came and spoke at a Vineyard church 45 minutes north of Princeton. I went with my mom and my friend Justin.
  • He was cool! Robby told lots of great stories and we had an awesome ministry time at the end with prophecy and a few healings. It was a small service with only about 35 people there so Justin and I got to talk to him for a while which was great.
  • The Lord spoke to me! I asked Robby to pray for my living situation. He prayed for a while and said that he heard God saying that He had my back and that He would provide for me this summer. Then he prayed some more and the name Tom came to him and he thought that maybe somebody named Tom would provide me with a place to live. Then he prayed some more and said that this provision would be an act of divine intervention for me and that God would use it to bring divine intervention to others through me.
  • It was true! The day after, I went with Justin to visit our friend Nate Angell's farm in upstate NY. His father, Tom Angell invited me to stay with them for the summer! That's where I am now, working as a farmhand with this amazing Christian family! Way cool. To find out what's going on at the farm, here's a link to the family's blog.
  • I was interviewed! Last Monday, Dan Knapke interviewed me for the internship position at Christian Union. It went well.
  • I got the job! Now I just need to raise half of my salary by August 9th. Yikes! I'll be sending support letters out soon. 
  • I got a haircut! Sarah and Rebecca Angell gave me a great haircut and amused all who witnessed the process.
God is good and He's been very good to me. I'm excited to be going into ministry and I'm even more excited about what God is doing in Princeton!
