Last night my husband gave a jaw dropping, rock my socks off lesson. His sermon gave me the chills. It made me realize a few things and one of those things is that our youth group needs more girls. I am the high school small group leader and last night I had my small group discussion with one person. That one person is an amazing and beautiful inside and out person but we need more girls. There is like 20 high school guys and I may be luck to have 3 come. What do we need to do to get more girls to come to youth group??
My hearts desire is to impact girls in away that they realize that God has so much instore for them. I want them to see that God is so much bigger then they thing. God can be your dad, your best friend, you love and your home. You just have to allow him to be big in your life. I want girl's to realize that no matter what they think that they are beautiful and that God loves them and made them the way they are for a reason. God is your prince and he can wisk you away to be a princess if you allow him too.
All of this is something that I learned near the end of my high school years and it helped me so much when it comes to finding a perfect soul mate. By finding out that God is my prince and I am his princess it made me realize that my husband is suppose to treat me like a princess and that I deserve the best.
High school is a hard time for girls because there is always someone that is more popular or someone that doesn't like you. At that time you are just getting over a time where you aren't comfortable in your body and things are changing and you don't understand why. Why not discover why, while you discover a relationship with the love of your life, Jesus.
One of the greatest investments of your life is having a relationships with God and making sure that your friends go with you to heaven. What a party it will be in heaven when you find out your friends are with you and it's because of you.
I am hoping that there will be more then 1 or 2 people this coming Sunday but we will see. My desire is for the girls to finally out number the guys. Stay tuned to see if it will happen!!

It's Been Awhile
It has almost been a month since my last blog. I don't know where the time went. Just like Jeremiah has said our lives have been very busy this month and I am glad that they are slowing down.
I am almost finished with my first quarter of Master's classes at Strayer University. I take my finals next week. Then I will have three weeks off before I start my next two classes. It will be weird to think that I will have four classes done soon and well on my way to be finished.
One exciting thing that has happened this month is I am the new Small Groups Coordinator at our church, Coast Community Church. I feel so excited and ready to start something that I am passionate and driven to do. My first task is to gather some people that are interested in leading small groups and start a trailing process. The bad news came on Monday though when I found out we wouldn't be able to get our material for training until the end of September. We are going to meet though and discuss some material. God really has been opening up some doors for me right now and things really are changing.
The one thing that I have been missing is reading. I really like to read. I have read almost 20 books this year and I still have 3 more months in this year to see how many I can get done. My favorite thing to do is putting my head on Jeremiah's leg and reading while he is watching TV or working on his computer. I haven't been able to do that lately because of school finishing up and many other activities. The time will come when I can get back to it and I will be come one again.
I will try for my next post to be not so far away from this post! If anyone is reading my page at all. If you are enjoy!!

My week without my husband
This week my husband, Jeremiah went to Atlanta, GA with our kids from the youth group. I kind of was a little bummed that I couldn't go and had to stay home and work but I didn't have any vacation time to go. They sound like they had a good time and God really touched there lives through the retreat theme "Downpour." I applaud the adults who go because spending every day for a week with teenagers gets a little much sometimes.
Some of the highlights of my week by myself is finishing my Masters homework early in the week so I don't have to worry about it this weekend. I spend Wednesday night with Lil' Andy and Miranda at her house just playing and hanging out. Big Andy was out of town this week as well. Very uneventful week unlike my previous weeks with many family visitors this summer.
Our crazy and amazing summer is starting to slow down and come to an end and I don't know if I am excited or sad that the summer is almost over. I am excited though for our Summer Funeral that is coming up next Sunday (August 19). I am working on some fun and outrageous water games and an amazing smack and I am so excited. This will be the first time that I have planned most of an event. I am super excited. Come and find out what exciting and extraordinary games and fun we are going to have.
