“The
steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they
are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3: 22-23
Greetings! As I sat down to ponder the events of this
past year, I realized that it has been a season of hope! Many things have happened that I have desired
for a long time!
Family
After seven years
in the Navy, my brother resigned and moved with his wife and family home to MN! He bought a house in the same neighborhood as
our parents! I have been enjoying the
little benefits of having family close: attending
birthday parties, family movie nights, sharing meals together, and hugging my
nieces.

Professional
This July, I began
pursing my doctorate in Education Administration through Bethel
University. I have hopes of becoming a
school principal or making the leap into higher ed! Courses are on campus during the summer and
online during the school year. It has
felt great to be a student again. At the
end of our summer residency, they let us try on the academic regalia—I did not
want to take it off! I seized the
opportunity to snap a picture with my camera!
Personal
Ever since
reading The Wright Brothers: How They
Invented the Airplane as a child, I have wanted to visit the birthplace of
flight. This summer, our family rented a
beach house on the Outer Banks of NC and we took a day trip to Kitty Hawk. It was inspiring!
I have loved
Chris Van Allsburg for a very long time.
I can still remember Two Bad Ants
being read aloud to me while I sat on my dad’s lap after a trip to the public
library. In grad school, I did a project
on CVA and studied all of his books. I
make sure students know who he is before they leave elementary school! So, it was with great pleasure that I finally
got to meet him last month where he appeared at the Fitzgerald Theater in St.
Paul.
Enjoy a little
Christmas music from Chris Tomilin:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
With Love From,
Jenny Hill
