First of all, thanks for the prayer for midterms - it really did last for 4 weeks ending at Thanksgiving break. So far, everything I've gotten back I've done well on though am still waiting to get most grades back (Keep praying those miracle prayers!)
My first Thanskgiving in CO was a smashing success! My good friend Michele (old roommate from College) came out from RI (AND tutored me in Greek as she has recently finished seminary herself!), three people from my apartment came and two new friends (Sara Massy and her sister Jill - for those of you who know them) from back East came as well.
We had a great time getting to know each other and sharing what we're thankful for this year. It seemed like it was very meaningful for all of us in very different ways. Some folks didn't have anyplace else to go and no other offers, so this was a really blessing to them (and me too!) We had dinner at 1:30pm and I kicked the last guest out at 10pm; a good time was had by all.
Next piece of news! I am officially 2LT Chaplain King! I finally got my paperwork over the break and swore in officially this morning! My advisor in the school is a retired Air Force Lt Co., so she was allowed to swear me in - see pics! I will be scheduled to got to basic this summer! I'm really excited about this - I've been working on it for SO long and was wondering if the Lord was really going to let me do this after all! Thanks to all of you who keep me in prayer about this new calling!
Prayer for December:
Praise God:
- For such success so for this semester!
- For surviving midterms
- For a new mentor! (We got 1 - a wonderful covenant pastor - Win Jackson-Houwen)
- For the EXCELLENT apologetic conversation I had with my neighbor Jeff - I was able to ask him to help me with my paper at the TG dinner and we talked last Saturady for 4 hours! I think trust was built with him and God is beginning to be revealed!
Pray:
- I still need to arrange 1 more mentor for next semester - pray that God would set the right MILITARY person for me (preferably Army!)
- For stregnth to finish well - two weeks after this one left!
- For wisdom about what to do with the Christmas break and good rest before tackling a January Term class (ystematic Theology I)
- Pray for Jeff - he's not super far from the Kingdom - pray he comes in!
Also, would you pray about helping me out with book money this semester? If you were thinking of giving me a gift for Christmas, that would be what I need most - thanks! - Ter

Hey Ter!
How about give us a book list again so we can get you a few for Christmas. It seemed to be a hit last time. Love the pix and the stories. God is moving in wonderful ways out there.
