Hi everyone! I know it has been a while since my last post. The pace of this job seems to catch up with me sometimes. It seems like just yesterday the school year was starting and now we are almost at Christmas break! I don't know where the semester has gone. I look back to Canoe trips and BBQ's, to Costume Parties and bowling with frozen turkeys and at all of the new students I have met since September. I am excited about the relationships I have built and the conversations I have had. I think about all of the meals I've shared with students in the cafeteria or at my house on Sunday nights with my girls small group and I realize that even though it has been a difficult semester, a rebuilding semester, it has been a good semester. I thank you for your prayers and support. I love this ministry and I love these students.
Now that I have looked back at this semester in review I can start looking forward, to Christmas. I am especially excited this Christmas because I am coming home. I have not been home since February. That is a long time away from you, my family and friends. I have a beautiful niece that I am so excited to meet! I would love to get together with each of you. If you have the time or can make the time, please email me ( laura.a.livingston@gmail.com ). My trip would not be complete without sharing a meal or even just a cup of coffee with my partners in ministry and friends.
Whether I see you or not, I pray that you will have a wonderful Christmas Season!
"God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us." 1 John 4:9-12 (NLT)
