Pieces -->Camp
Just returned from Camp last night and what I had hoped to happen did... My group of clicks came together to form one group! I just love youth ministry! My students are nuts and love to go tubing! ME... I love to ride the jetski.... and for some of you that is funny if you know the akwardness that surrounds that situation. I just cannot describe the feeling of love and acceptance these students have come to have for each other. Praise God for all he did! I will post more later when I get the time!

Wednesday Night June 4th
Last night was AWESOME! and last week was a free night for them because we had a give us $$ night. haha we made the dinner and got the proceeds.
Onto last night... We watched to Secular (gasp!) Music Videos and discussed them... This is a new series by the way. So We watched Rihanna - Take a Bow and Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats. Both are about a cheating significant other. We moved from the topic of cheating to the topic of lying and then onto forgiveness. It was really good!
We have had major threats of Tornadoes lately and last night was a MAJOR storm and since we were in the basement it was cool and the kids were calm, BUT as soon as we were done and we went upstairs everyone had left except a few people who were going to wait and let it blow over a little more. So Ashley (whom I take home every week) and myself stayed with everyone else. The power flickered a couple of times and that made Ashley FREAK so I put her on my lap top and she played games after I got her a little more calm. When we finally ran to the car it wasn't bad and the lightening was far away so we got in the car needless to say as we were driving we drove into a deluge. As some of you know I will keep driving no matter what because sometimes I think I am invincible. Well last night I wanted to pull over, but I knew Ashley would have a cow SO I continued to drive and Ashley prayed for us out loud for the first time in at least 3 months. So Mighty To Save came on the Ipod so I turned it up and just prayed to myself and sang... Lightening struck almost right beside the car and everything on the way, but calmed down as we got to her house and was decent when I got home then after we were safe at home it came down again. When I think about this it shows how God protects us even when we feel scared. I really think my youth group is starting to see that this "God thing" is really a day to daything and not just a twice a week thing, if that!
