We're Here :)


We're at New Tribes Bible Institute (NTBI)! We are all settled in, and we're had a chance to meet some people here and explore the town. We signed up for classes today (Ben will take a full load and I will take 11 credits... it costs us the same whether just he takes classes or whether we both do, so we're excited for the opportunity to learn together!)
On Monday and Tuesday we have orientation, and then on Wednesday we will start our first day of classes. At this point we are ready to be on a schedule, but I'm sure once we're into classes full-swing, we'll be wishing for a break again!

We're moving!!

Everything is packed, and we're heading out tomorrow morning! It's actually here! We're really going to Bible School and changing everything about our lives. As I was packing tonight, I pulled out the packet with our house blueprints, and I realized if God hadn't drastically changed the path our life was going, we could be in that house right now. While it was beautiful, and I was a teensy bit sad I wasn't sitting in that house as I looked at the blueprints, it's amazing the joy God puts in your heart and life when you know you're following his plan. I know telling others about Jesus will be far more fulfilling than living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood with a nice bathtub. Once we arrive at New Tribes Bible Institute, I will take pictures and post! I had the opportunity to go to NTBI the other week and see our apartment... it's little, but it'll be fun! {alisha}
