The Real Deal

So I figure we have had enough posts about what has happening with our doggie- Shortstop, so how about some updates on the 'Real Puigs'.

Well in 16 days I, Danielle, will be graduating from Liberty with my Bachelors- Family and Child Development as my major and a psychology minor. After 5 years I am very excited to finally be finished! So what happens once I graduate you ask? Well over the past 2 weeks I have applied at about 20 different positions for a variety of jobs. Ideally, I would like to still be working with kids in the area of social services working with underprivileged families and children in some way. I recently had an interview with the State department of mental health working with as a Clinician with children with behavior problems and tomorrow I will interview for a position as a Preschool Director at an area Preschool. Other positions I have applied for are Eligibility Worker for the Department of Social Services, Student Advocate at Liberty University, and various Secretary positions. I am hoping to find a job by the first week of June, when I finish up my job teaching @ St. John's Day School. I also just got accepted into graduate school and will begin my Masters in Professional Counseling on May 11th!

John, is still working at Liberty University with the missions department LIGHT ministries. We have truly been blessed for him to have this job. He works with some amazing men who, along with their wives, have been blessings and encouragements to us and a great group of people to be involved with. On May 11th John will be leading his second short term mission trip of the year to India. He will be arriving back on our 2 year anniversary, May 25th!
John has also been working hard on his Masters degree in Intercultural Studies and is thinking of continuing to get his Masters of Divinity. He loves school and is currently in a class on Islam which he has loved. He has been gaining a passion for the Muslim's and had the opportunity to visit a local Mosque where he was able to talk with some of the local members. He has become very involved in the missions committee in our local church. We both teach the 3 and 4 year old Sunday School class there and we have chose who we want our kids to be like, haha ;-) Of course we love all the kids but we can't help but have a few favs!

We have just begun the process of searching for a house and have found a few potentials! We are just in the preliminary stages though and won't actually be going to the bank to get approved until I find out where my job will be at. Pray for us as we make decisions on jobs and housing!

Missions....you ask where we are with this? Well, John and I do feel that we God's plans for us are on the mission field and that is what we are pursuing. We are hoping to be on the field in a 5 yr time period. We have narrowed down mission agencies to two and are looking more into these. There are many things we are praying through as far as missions go but most of all we want to be where God wants us so Pray that we will make Wise decisions and Follow God's Lead!
