Hey All

So much has been going on this month. I've been super busy but I made it a point to sit down and blog. No kidding. I wrote it on my to do list for the week. The one that for everything I cross off two more things get added. Yeah it's one of those months.

The first training session for VBS is tomorrow. It should be a lot of fun. I am really excited about this year's theme and biblical outline. Hawaii. How much better can you get than that? The bible stories are all about God's truth. Knowing God's word as the truth is so important to kids. They live in a world where truth is relative, so to teach them that there is an absolute truth is so important.

Other than that everything seems to be happening all at once. I've been working on my first writing assignment for Lifeway's teen magazine. It's a lot of work but I feel so blessed to be a part of it. Our church's women's retreat is coming up which I have been helping put together. Really good friends of Chris and mine are getting married at the end of the month. We also got invited to our friend's daughter's 2nd birthday party. This is the only kid's party I have been invited to so far (when you don't have kids yourself you never get invited to kid's parties so it's kind of a big deal...to me anyways).

For those of you who don't know, the beginning of this month was really rough. I am so grateful we have a loving God who shows His mercy just when we need it most. Although times are rough, I have confidence that my creator has it all in His hands. He keeps working. He is faithful.
