My financial partners know...

My partners know most of the highlights of my ministry. It's hard though, because I try to encapsulate all the God has done and it never seems to capture the story, fully. I want so bad for all of my partners to have experienced what I experienced (realizing that is impossible). In order to get as close as I can though I try not to write a typical cookie cutter story. (Have you read those stories?) I try to use specific quotes and the feelings that people expressed, to help bring the story to life.

A day with the Lord

Taking a day with the Lord is...hard for me to do. I struggle to sit still, to be alone, and don't enjoy reading all that much. But, I really want to connect with the Lord, and I know that I long to spend more time with him. I think I need to think outside the box and spend some of that time worshipping Him while I swim, or through playing guitar, as well as by studying and praying and reading. ~Mik

My habits...

My sleep, exercise and eating habits are...getting better. After getting used to not having much of a regular schedule over the break, it has been a challenge getting to bed on time so that I'm ready to go in the morning. I've recently decided to cut back on sweets and caffeine...and am starting Pilates to try something new for exercise, thanks to my staff gift :) --Mik Mik

My Financial Partners Know...

My financial partners know that I truly enjoy being on campus at Mizzou where the Lord has placed me. They also know that I am extremely grateful for the way that they have sacrificially given to this ministry, both financially and in prayer. I hope that they know I enjoy continuing to deepen my friendships with them, which I like to see as a ministry in itself. My life would be extremely different without my supporters!!
