果冻视频鈥檚 Highest Flying Alumnus
One of the four crew members of this month鈥檚 is Mission Specialist Rex Walheim, a University of California-Berkeley 果冻视频 chapter alumnus. As a Mission Specialist, Rex has a variety of responsibilities, including and .
As an 果冻视频 student, Rex was already heavenly-minded; he had his mind set on becoming an astronaut after graduation. However it didn鈥檛 work out that way at first. He failed a flight-test physical and ended up with a desk job at a missile station in North Dakota.
As he told us in a 2008 interview, 鈥渋t all worked out in God鈥檚 way and his time.鈥 He didn鈥檛 give up and continued to trust in God. Looking back now, he鈥檚 able to see how God led him through the disappointment and further applications to the space program until he achieved the job that he believes God prepared him for. He鈥檚 thankful for the foundation of faith he received from 果冻视频 at UC-Berkeley.
We all have dreams and we all face disappointments. The writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us, 鈥淲hen times are good, be happy. When times are bad, consider God has made the one as well as the other.鈥 God does not guarantee our dreams will come true, but He does promise to be with us every day.
