This was the first weekend in a bit that I was able to truly stop for a bit. It felt good yesterday- though I was a wee bit grumpy to hear my cell ring before 8am- WHO could be calling on a Saturday morning???? Just kidding Rob!



The last few weeks have been so full. Work has been very busy- almost to the point of overwhelming. One day- I thought I was going to breakdown. I was so behind and couldn't get my head above water. Katie was so wonderful to stay late with me and help me wrap up some important to-dos. What a blessing her friendship is. We spent some time together yesterday and it is always enjoyable to hear what God is doing in and through her. She challenges me to be faithful and a bold witness- I fail so often. I appreciate her wisdom and insight. Friday night was great too as I got to catch up with Bek (and enjoy the most delicous steaks ever!- plus new shoes at TJ Maxx to boot!)



Today was a full day with the youth. We are gearing up for Teens Involved and had a number of practices planned. The teens are working hard and really doing a nice job. I love to see them getting excited and involved. Plus- it is fun to hang out with them. They are so hilarious!



Speaking of- last weekend was Snow Camp. We had an adventerous drive up including some bad weather and a spin out on the highway - I won't tell you WHO did that???


The weekend was fantastic. The kids enjoyed each other and that was pretty cool. They had awesome counselors who answered all their questions. It was neat to see God working and challenging many of them. It was especially exciting to see our unsaved kids really questioning and seeking. One said to me, "I know that I need to accept Christ." Another said they believed but were not ready to surrender to the Lord yet. Pray for these kids- they are so close to making a decision for Christ. It was exciting to see our teens witnessing to them and being a light- and to see our kids really looking out for one another. Most of our kids had never gone to Snow Camp before and the more experienced kids took them under their wings to help them out. I walked away truly blessed- especially when the counselors complimented our youth and leaders. It made me smile to think back over the hard work that we've put in the last 1.5 years. I felt like this weekend brought me closer to a number of the kids too.



Enjoy a few pics and video of our kids-
