is the best way to describe the past few weeks. (I know, I haven't posted anything new lately, sorry!)
Resistance is futile, I have been assimilated! (I heard the BORG recordings for over an hour last week!) LOL Definitely have come into the youth group with a bang now, so disregard that last post! We went to WV on our mission trip and it was a really good experience for our kids, except the part where one girl hurt her knee and needed to go to the ER! We stayed in Casper's church going up (Yay, Casper, you're awesome!) and Derek's church coming back (Derek's awesome too!!!). The kids really were able to see how they could be used by God, even in small things and are excited about getting started on doing more missions at home. It was a really good time, and it was great watching the youth grow right before our eyes. There were lots of great times too (Green Tea moments, Chinese fire drills, etc.) and it was an opportunity for everyone to see who we are by being around us 24/7 for a whole week.
As for the ride, it's been a ride the past few weeks that's for sure. As they say, "if the church weren't filled with people, it'd be a great place to be." LOL Tell me about it! But then if people were perfect and things were too easy, life would be really boring too, right?
I'm still looking for a job, and my MIL is having surgery next week...so keep those things in your prayers please (along with a few "unmentioned" things).
God is good...
All the time!
