This too, I had written but had forgotten to post. Oops. =D
God is truly a wonderful God! Is He not?!!! =D Amy and I have experienced so much of His abundant blessings this year! Having lead us together, God then cemented our relationship with marriage on July 11th, 2009. After a honeymoon/family visit to Japan for the remainder of the summer, we returned to the States where we decided to spend our first year together. Among many of God's blessings we have experienced, such as providing a house for us in the parsonage of Amy's home church and paying only utilities, Amy's parents live only ten minutes away. It has been great for me to spend time with them and get to know them better and it is of course wonderful for Amy and her parents to have this time together. =D I've also been able to get to know more of her friends, relatives and church family. An additional blessing has been that my brother Victor is also only ten minutes away at Emmaus Bible College.
God has also provided jobs for Amy and I. Amy is teaching at Tri-State Christian School in the 6th grade and has been enjoying that a lot. God provided an ideal situation for Amy's first year of teaching. First, it is her Alma Mater; second, she did her student teaching there for her last semester of Moody Bible Institute; third, she only has 12 students and good ones at that; and last, the previous teacher left behind lots of material and sample lesson plans. God is indeed good! =D I have been working for the YMCA as a child care supervisor at one of the Dubuque Elementary schools. Two and a half hours before school and two and a half hours after school I get to spend time with kids! How cool is that!?! It was exactly what we had been praying for. I wanted a job that allowed me to be free when Amy was free, was with unbelievers (so I could be a witness), and not too time consuming so that I could work on improving my Japanese and prepare for going to Japan. Not only did God answer each of these, but he also threw in the fact that I love working with kids! =D
