Our Treasure Map...

A windy...sometimes bumpy...always worth it, road! After over a year of making our way to Seminary, it is such a blessing to finally be here. Though there have been bumps (new directions, paperwork, jobs, etc) it's well worth it to see how God has traveled with us on this road...and He continues to do so. Things are continuing to go well with us as we settle into our life here in Wilmore. We are both enjoying our jobs (Viktor working at UPS and Kristen working in the Admissions Office at Asbury Seminary) and are preparing for the upcoming semester. Just today we received a note from one of our faithful supporters and in her card was a piece of our last prayer letter that she had cut out and crossed off items of our prayer request list. It was such a blessing to have that visual reminder of how God is answering prayer and to be reminded of so many people who faithfully carry us in prayer on a daily basis. We could not be here without you! We have a busy month ahead with a trip to Maryland for Kristen's cousin's wedding, a trip to Marion, IN to visit friends that we have not seen for over a year, and New Student Orientation at the end of the month. Lord willing we both (Viktor for sure) will be taking classes this fall.

This summer we've had an opportunity to be a part of a spouse and family ministry at Asbury called Alpha Marriage. We have some friends who have gone through it in the past and are now the leaders, and they recommended we go through it as we start this new season in our life together. We get together once a week with other married couples from the Seminary and learn more about each other, marriage, and how it relates to our ministry. Each week a different couple shares a marriage map about their marriage relationship and this past week was our turn. It was so fun to draft, create, and present our story. We have titled our map, "our treasure map"...which we think explains itself!

Enjoy...
