So last night was our first EVER youth meeting. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but we had 13 students show up, much to my surprise. God is so awesome! I thought there MIGHT be like 5 or so, but 13? WOW!

Since there is NO youth ministry here at all, I am literally starting from the foundation, and that is just building relationships. There are great things in the works, but right now, I am simply focusing on getting to know the students that I have. Once I get in with them, I can start to build on that foundation.

I appreciate all of your continued prayers. The road ahead is a long one, and I know that I am still in the “honeymoon” phase so to speak. Everything right now is very optimistic and cheery, but I know that there is hard work to be done. So here we go!

This was a letter that I found someplace. I loved it so much, that i adopted it for myself. I can’t take credit for the original writing, but it definitely resonates with me in a big way. Parts of it I have been altered to be more personalized and made my own.

I got an invitation to join “pownce,” the new social networking community of Kevin Rose (founder of Digg.com) and friends. So far, it’s kind of like Twitter and social “sharing” of things lke URLs, files, and common events. I think it has great potential as a collaborative tool, and I definitely see it as being in it’s “infant” stages of learning to walk. I think the minds behind it have great ideas, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store.

Let me begin by saying that I absolutely love my parents. They are both amazing people, and I am truly blessed to have them in my life. This last week was one of the most difficult weeks for them. I thank God that they are godly people, and they rely on Him to take care of them, because He sure has.

I know, I know, I said I wouldn’t do it. I tried really hard not to. But I just couldn’t help it. Things can get a little busy in my life…and they did again. So what did I do? I haven’t posted in almost 3 months. 3 months of nothing. Did I fall off of the planet? Did I lost internet for 3 months? What…has happened…

To put it simply…I have become busy yet again. April saw a lot of time working on a new site for Pastor Connie, and beginning development on Pastor Berteau’s new website. Both of those have become major projects in themselves.
