To keep the chick blog alive.... here's an update on my (Brooke) life in the past year! :)
Last August I returned from the beautiful, tropical country of Thailand. I miss the green mountains, gorgeous beaches, colorful flowers, and huge waterfalls. After three awesome & at times challenging years, I moved back to Texas. I deeply miss my friends in Thailand and hope to go back and visit them in the next couple of years. It's fun to keep up with them and hear how their hearts and lives continue to be touched by our Father.
Over the past ten months I've been involved in college ministry in the States. Based out of UT-Arlington, I spend most of my days hangin out with college kids. Mentoring and sharing life with them has been a joy. I really think I have the best job in the world!
Here are some of the sweet girls..... we went to college girls' conference in Aggieland this past year! We had a great time together at a ranch near College Station.
This past year I've felt like a college kid again. Maybe I'm in denial about being in my upper 20s. But, I've eaten enough pizza and stayed up past midnight way too many times to be outta college. ;)
One of the awesome parts of my job is to encourage students to take part in missions locally and globally. This year our students raised over $14,000 t0 send students on mission trips. A large portion was raised at an auction. I was one of the lucky "winners" who was auctioned off to slide down a slip-n-slide of nasty old food products. Check out the video link below for a visual. ;)
I'll be working on full-time BSM staff this coming school year. I'm excited to continue life with college students and can't wait to be a part of the journey ahead!
