Hello everyone! Sorry I have been so neglectful on my blog writings. On Wednesday night last week Katie went into the hospital. On Thursday morning at 2:30 AM she gave birth to my second neice Allie Jae Herbold. She is absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to get to know her and see her grow up! Katie and Jacob live here in Lubbock. In fact I am living with them now. I’ll include the home address in another blog. Katie’s and my parents are in town right now. Our sister, neice, brother and sister in law were in town, but they had to go back to Dallas. We miss them already. Can’t wait to see them for Thanksgiving!
I really miss home! I miss all of my family and everyone at church too. I am already praying for God’s direction for where He will want to send me. I have been going to a few missions interest lunchs here at school and learning about different countries. I have become a home body of sorts. I don’t want to go so far from home that I can’t get back in a some what reasonable amount of time. I really want to stay in the US. If God calls me to leave my family, friends, and home it will be extremely hard. Sometimes God calls us to leave. In Old Testament History we learned about Abraham and that God called him to leave his home of Ur. He lived there his entire life up to that point and God called him to leave. He eventually settled in Hebron where he lived the rest of his life and died there. If God calls you to leave, you gotta go. I just pray for strength if He calls me to.
More later. Thanks for reading. God bless. Grace and Peace.
so glad to hear about Allie and so in hope and pray that Katie is improving. It truly is exciting and to have all your siblings (her aunt/unlce/cousin) and grandparents there. She will always know how much she is loved!
Zack, I know there are many missions that are right here close to us that need you and others like you. I pray that you will be open to that too!
love, Suzan
Great blog Zack! Can’t wait to meet Allie ourselves. Ohhhh . . . and don’t put your address on here. For privacy reasons & security reasons!!! Wouldn’t want some crazy to find you!
Hey Zack,
Thanks for the much anticipated Allie update. Meme read your update too and says to tell you hello from her and she misses you too.
I know God will lead you to just the right mission field. I’m asking him to please let it be here in the US, but we’ll just have to be patient and wait on His timing.
Looking forward to seeing you at Thanksgiving and meeting Allie!!!
Love to all, Linda, Pat & Meme
