weekend highlights
- i got the day off work on friday! i love my job at Hanley. it was a stressful week (school starts Tuesday!) but it was really cool of them to give us an extra long weekend!
- i spent friday shopping with some awesome teenage girls! it amazes me how God works on students' lives and makes them more like him- even the ones who you think are "doing pretty good." He makes us more and more beautiful!
- we stayed at FaHoLo campground/hotel FREE on friday nite. The A/G gives all pastors 2 free nites to stay there. they are LEGIT when they say they wanna honor pastors! we got a suite room and they gave us free snacks and comfy bathrobes! got to use their indoor pool & hot tub, and read some good books in our lawn chairs overlooking the lake. we ate at cracker barrel too. that's the one thing i like about the boondocks- it feels like we are so far from detroit and on a vacation! (really it was an hour away lol)
- sun a.m. i had some amazing conversations, with older women in our church. it blows my mind that God lets me speak into the lives of teenagers, and women in their 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's! what?! i'm 24! i know- i am freakin humbled. a lady in her 30's and a lady in her 60's told me what great things God has been doing in their hearts and hugged me and thanked ME for listening to them and encouraging them. phew that's Jesus!
- God is showing me how powerful PRAYER is. sometimes i feel like i'm not doing anything if i have a busy work week and don't hang out with as many ppl as i'd like to. praying for people does so much more than whatever words i could say to them! i am NOT their savior! why should it surprise me to hear that people are doing so good when i haven't called/visited them in weeks? sometimes i think it has something to do with ME but it DOESN'T!
- thank u Jesus. :)

thats awesome that you guys got to go up to the camp and stay! God truly is so amazing that He uses us to speak to other people, to encourage and challenge them. And then in return to be challenged and encouraged by them. His love is so faithful!
I relate to so many things you've said.
Love you!
