Summer 2009 Update
July 1, 2009 8:00 am UncategorizedTEN YEARS! As I pause this summer to consider my life, I realize that this December will mark ten years of living in Michigan – the place where I was changed forever as I let go of my rebellion and gave Christ control. And it is here, in Grand Haven MI, that I now live each day with a renewed passion to reach the lost. God continues to open incredible doors of outreach with many opportunities to witness right here where I live and work.
FANTASTIC SURPRISE – What a happy surprise it was to be showered with a mailbox full of cards and notes of congratulations from so many. THANKS to each one of you! For me, this has marked a milestone of great significance.
A FIRST FOR ME – This fall I will walk with my class in a formal graduation ceremony. This will be a first for me. Although I graduated from high school and later earned an associates degree, I did not attend either of those graduations. I’m looking forward to this one . . . (smile). Yet, there is more work to come:
HERE I GO AGAIN – It is hard to believe that in just two months I will once again begin new studies, this time working toward a master’s degree (in counseling). This degree is the next step toward the realization of my dream to open a home for troubled girls.
YOU ARE APPRECIATED! It’s hard to convey my gratitude to each one who supports WCM through prayers and giving, but I thank you all from the depths of my heart. Please continue to pray for me as I follow God’s call for my life, both now, and as I look to the future; for as the verse below declares, apart from Him I can do nothing.
Because of Grace, Wendi English
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing . . . These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
- John 15:5, 11
