    January is wrapping up and 2015 is promising to be an eventful year. January at EMI marks the beginning of the first of our three terms for the year. Each term brings a new group of interns and the launch of our project trips. Just as I attended this time last year, the interns start out…

    I’ve had a job in my field of study that I hated. I’ve had too many jobs with not enough work or mindless busy work. I’ve had a job that was 24/7 and unbelievably stressful. I’ve had a job that had nothing to do with anything I’ve studied. I’ve had a job where I was intimidated…

    Good morning daddy. Today my thoughts are floating around the happiness and excitement I feel here. But most of all the joy I find in my new freedom. I continually thank you for the work you’ve done in my life. The first time I came here, I was anxious and full of stress. But today…

    I’ve chosen the path less traveled. I’ve sent out seeming several hundred resumes, lots of them for jobs I didn’t really want. I’ve been looking for just the right “job.” Preferably at a company that believes in the one overarching theme of the Bible, missions. A company that is really a community of like-minded believers…

    I had the privilege of being a part of a project trip to Cambodia. These project trips are the heart of the mission of EMI; it has been rewarding to witness one first hand. Our team traveled to Cambodia for 11 days to asses the needs of the future university, the ministry, and the site. While…

    Yup, that’s right. Never saw this day coming… For tonight I’ll leave the words to a master: “The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger…

    This weeks lecture topic has been relationships. The basis for any relationship is LOVE. Commandment number one: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and strength. Number two… Love your neighbour as yourself. How can you love your neighbour as yourself if you don’t know and love yourself? Which brings us to…

    Things are going well here in Oxford. We have just finished week three of the lecture phase, and I am settled into the "normal" routine of the school. Lecture in the morning, activities in the afternoon, meeting with my small group, and one-on-ones to check in with the girls. I love being here. I love…

    I’m back in Oxford for another season. But first, let me tell you a little bit about outreach. After Thailand, the team continued to travel throughout S.E. asia including Cambodia and India. It was exciting to see how God met us in each country with people we were supposed to meet. We were able to…

    It’s not thoughts, it’s experience. No amount of journaling or thinking or praying is going to teach me anything. God brings revelation. God brings it, not me. I’m never going to come up with anything good on my own. Maybe I should stop all journaling about the unknown, and only journal about what the past.…
