Travis First Blog

Hebrew is hard! This summer, in order to fulfill the requirements to enter into the PhD program at NOBTS, I am taking two Hebrew classes. And might I say that Hebrew is ridiculously hard. For starters the characters look weird. Hebrew has dots for vowels. And it is backwards, that is it is written right to left not left to right. Needless to say, it seems a bit odd and strange.

However, through this experiencing I am clinging to two thoughts. The first is a thought from John Piper. Piper once said something like "if you rake leaves all you will ever get is dirt, but if you dig a little you might just find diamonds." I am praying for diamonds! The second thought is from Psalms 119. Psalms 119:11, "I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." And what better way to store up God's Word than in Hebrew!

It sure is strange...


It sure is strange being here in Mississippi! I haven't gotten use to it yet....that's for sure! I want to thank mama, daddy, tom, linda and lauren for helping us get moved to Mississippi. I am so thankful that I have such a great family to depend on!!

Well I am trying to study for my Praxis test which is this saturday but as you can see i am on the internet. I am very bored out here. I sometimes feel like we live in a retirement community because it is so very quiet in our neighborhood. There is a plus to living here.....the beach!!!!

I am posting a pic of the beach 30 minutes from our house!! It is nice! but I sure do miss my family!
anyway, back to studying!!
Love ya'll

Travis and Holly




This is what Izzy does all day!!

What a Day!!

I FINALLY DID IT!!!


On Friday, May 9th, I graduated from GSW in Americus, Ga. I was so excited my daddy said I smiled the whole time. I was so overwhelmed by how all the hard work paid off. Now...it has taken me a total of 10 years to get to this point but better late than never!

I am so thankful to Jesus Christ for all he has done for me and for all the times he has forgiven me when I was not forgivable! He is an amazing Savior! I also want to thank the Lord for Travis! He is the BEST husband in the whole world! I can't believe he even agreed to go on a date with me and then chose me to be his wife!! He is everything I could ever asked for! I want to thank my parents also for always believing in me when I did not believe in myself. For telling me I was intelligent when I kept saying I was too dumb for college. My family is amazing and I thank the Lord for them everyday. I thank the Lord for my friend Joanna! She was there through all the GSW drama and was my sanity when I was about to lose my mind at the awful school!! Thanks Jo I love you!
I love all of you who supported me and gave me encouragement when I needed it the most!!
