Jeffrey Lyle Beiler!

This is Jeffrey! He's a very good friend and we are :::together:::
I've never had a boyfriend before, so this is a new experience for me, but I'm finding that it's natural and good! It's incredible having him as such a good friend. It's cool that we've both come from similar backgrounds, went through the Honor Academy together last year and now are sitting under the same teaching and experiencing the same things here at BCOM. It's exciting having a friend who has the same values as I do: loving God, loving people, serving, giving, learning, growing, changing...
It's fun to walk this life with him. We've been praying together and have the awesome opportunity of having quite a few incredible, Godly couples here on campus who are willing and delighting in investing in us and our relationship! We're excited to seek out more counsel about how to walk uprightly and wisely in this season of life and do the will of the Father.
A big thing we're praying through right now is concerning our Global Internships. Currently, Jeff is on a team (of which he's the only guy!) to go to Indonesia, and I am on a team going to Austria. Our internships are 16 months long, plus a previous 4 months of home-based support raising. That would mean that we'd be apart for almost 20 months! We've come to the conclusion that with the direction that we feel God is leading us in our relationship, it'd be wise and beneficial for us to be on the same team, so we're praying about where that will be. Please pray that God would clarify His will to us both so that we can walk in it!
