The School-Visit Rockstar Tour

Juggling, that's what we women do, right?

From late August through October my balancing act looks something like this:
  • Get the kiddo into a showering/bus-catching/homework-finishing/sports-playing/bed-timing routine
  • Pack, unpack, repack, lose things as I...
  • Drive 5,268-ish miles
  • Watch as many of Angie's tennis matches as I can between miles
  • Visit 9 university campuses
  • Maintain an intermittently short and long-distance steamy relationship with my main man as I come and go from the home base
  • Speak to and challenge 216 veterinary students to live out the call God has for their lives
  • Attempt to find the perfect Fro-Yo combo with their fabulous student leaders, equipping them to serve their Christian Veterinary Fellowship groups well
  • Celebrate my husband's birthday non-stop for a week against his will
  • Encourage and appreciate 28 faculty advisers in college towns around the Southeast
  • Keep up with the laundry because it's the one chore Jon hates
  • Follow-up with each of those 200 plus contacts to make sure we're serving them as well as we can be
  • Praise the Lord for the fall colors as the trees shed their gorgeous leaves
  • Coordinate over 30 speakers for two of our Real Life Real Impact weekends coming up
  • Vacation with the family to Ft. Walton Beach to visit my 95 year-old great uncle
  • Cherish each and every story from the amazing students God allows me to mobilize...
It's been an incredible ride these past couple months working with student ministry, here are the beautiful leaders of the student groups I serve.
Auburn University
Tuskegee University
University of Tennessee
University of Georgia
Mississippi State University
Morehead State at Asbury's Mission Farm
University of Florida
Thank you Jon, Bulo, and Bula for all your help with Angie.  And thank you to each of you who is part of our team to make these campus ministries a reality around the Southeast. It's such a privilege to get to use my profession to guide others in using theirs for Christ. To partner with us check out Abounding and look for more details about the school visit tour in my next prayer letter...
