HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!


http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.photo.gif

Wow, I can't believe it's already 2008! 2007 was a great and exciting year for me. Not only did I get the amazing opportunity to fly out to Ireland to do an internship with the one and only, Kathryn Scott, but I also got engaged! Just to clear up an confusion, the man whom I'm engaged to is not an Irish man. =) His name is Peder Wilkinson. He and I met at the Young Adults group, The Vine in 2004. It's been about 3 years since he and I have known each other. He's my best friend, and there is no one else in the world that I would rather live an adventurous life with than him. He is an amazing man. He's passionate about the Lord, a man who has a holy fear of the Lord, a man who is sold out for the Lord, and a man who is currently attending medical school to be a physician for the Lord. I feel like the luckiest woman. The Lord blessed me with someone who is right with me. Peder fits me, gets me, loves me, and honors me. I just thought this was all worth sharing! I will be heading back to Ireland soon. It's been wonderful speding holiday in good ol' Santa Cruz.

Please continue to lift me in prayer. Pray for a wonderful rest of the internship. Please pray that it will continue to be fruitful. I am still trusting the Lord with the rest of the support to come in. I trust he will provide. I appreciate all of you who are partnering with me either through prayer, or finances. It means the WORLD. Thank you!! God Bless and love you guys!!

Dear Esther (and Peder)
Many congrats to your engagement. I hope it was not too sad to say goodbye, because of your internship in N.Ireland ;)
I wish you both many blessings from the Lord and hope you have a fine and thankful view to your wedding one day.
Hope to meet again in May 2008, when we've planned to visit our son Erik.
Bye bye and God bless!
