PRAISE GOD from WHOM ALL blessings flow..

A quick announcement from the Kenney residence, in case you haven't heard yet...

Yesterday Jason was officially accepted into Cornerstone Seminary for their winter quarter. It is a huge praise for us since we have been planning and praying about this for quite some time now and as of late have really felt that God was working for this to happen now. Classes start January 13th and he will be sending in his registration in the next few days. For now he will attend part time classes and full time work (with a 4-10 schedule) and once I can promote up to the next level he can cut back to part time work and full time classes. It should take him 3-4 years to complete the Masters of Divinity program.

This obviously has major repercussions for us in the next few years. We ask that you all would be praying for us as God works wonderfully in our lives. Here are some of the major prayer requests for us...

-The biggest request is to pray for us financially. We will be fine initially, but with the economy in the toilet this requires a leap of faith for us. Getting a Masters is no small investment, especially with such a commute.

-Please pray for us as a couple. As Jason's responsibilities and commitments grow it is harder and harder for us to have time together. Adding seminary is only going to increase this challenge. We are both very committed to keeping our relationship strong and staying close.

-Also, as I mentioned before Jason can go to school full time (which is our desire) I need a promotion, so there are some logistics there that I am looking into.

-Please pray for Jason in his studies as he reverts back to his "school days". I know he will be successful in managing his time and studies, but reliance on God for strength is crucial.

We are both so excited for this new adventure into seminary life. We are ecstatic, anxious, scared and so very grateful. We look forward to new experiences that God has in store.

Having said all that: Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!

In Him,
Jason and Sarah
