Happy Thanksgiving---Danielle's November Update

I apologize for my late update this month! Thanks for taking the time to read and see what we've been up to at Collin :)

October is often a rather long month in campus ministry. It's the time for mid-terms and what some of us like to call the "October Blues." Half of our students tend to get a bit discouraged around this time of year with all the responsibilities of school, work, and ministry. One of the themes our staff and students have been relying on during this time comes from Philippians 4. 

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 

I have used this refrain for many students in our weekly times together and have seen God refresh and encourage, bring peace and thanksgiving. Now we are only a few weeks away from the end of the semester and God has continued to be faithful in our community. Praise God! 

Here are some photos from the past month in ministry:

Dr. Mary Poplin, author of Finding Calcutta, spoke to our students about her latest book Is Reality Secular?
Our 4 Collin apprentices dressed up for Halloween TNF. Two 80's ladies and Gandalf and Frodo!

We had an outreach event on Halloween and encouraged our students to come in costume! Here is a gypsy with Guy Fieri ;)

We served free hot dogs to the students for our Halloween outreach event. We served around 300 hot dogs that day! Even thought it was cold the students came out to eat and fellowship. 

Another fun bit of news for those that haven't heard: my husband, Matt, and I are expecting a baby girl in April 2020! We are thrilled and so thankful to God for blessing us with this sweet gift. We have prayed a long time for this and can't believe how good God has been. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers! 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

With love, 
Danielle <3

  1. When a participant purchases chips he will get his own colour and the worth of each chip is the buy-in divided by the number of chips acquired. The dealer will place a token on top of the dealer's stack of 메리트카지노 that colour of chips to point the worth. Many casinos now have an digital show at roulette wheels exhibiting the final 12 or 18 numbers. Some gamers wish to play any number that exhibits up twice or more in that span -- or to bet the final {several|a number of} numbers that have come up -- in hopes that the wheel is biased. Others wish to match the bets of some other participant at the table who has been successful, hoping the other participant has found a bias. Neither system is more likely to|prone to} repay, but they're a lot as good} as some other system.
