Update

I am beginning to get ill, I think. I feel blechy.

I am also trying to organize a quick trip to my aunt's this weekend. I haven't seen her since July and this is going to be my last chance to visit, because my schedule for the next few months is going to be insane.

On top of getting to see my aunt, this will be an amazing opportunity to get away from all of the external noise, and kick it with Jesus. I have some really big decisions to make, and while I could totally seek Jesus here, I know that I get distracted easily and being in the middle of no where will help.

That means I need to find a sub for Sunday School, but I am sure it will all work out in the end.

I found out yesterday that I am now going to be working 20 hours a week. This is good, but I am having a hard time with fitting all of my new hours into my already packed schedule. It means I am working all day every Friday and Saturday, as well as more hours on Wednesday. This makes me cranky, but I need to start saving some money for next year.

Winter camp was good. I learned a lot, and I think God really spoke to our kids. I am excited to see what the future will bring.

And the winner is...

The winners of the first monthly challenge... Wait did I say winners...?Yes, yes I did...

There is a tie between Stacee Lianna who submitted a picture of the exceedingly adorable baby Caden and Susanna who submitted an amazing hand made Boom Roasted Sign made complete with burn marks.

All of my entries were amazing and delightful, and I am looking forward to seeing the entires for this months contest....

Winter Camp!

I was on here to see what exactly I had posted before winter camp last year, and I saw that I hadn't posted anything. What I did notice, was my post winter camp post from last year. I really want to do a follow up post but I am going to wait until I return to do it. This is mostly a public reminder for me to do so.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So. On to business.

Once again I am asking that you pray.

Pray that God speaks to the youth in a new way, that He grabs their attention and moves mightily this weekend. Pray for them by name: Travis, Kaleb, Tarah, Jessica, and Lizette. They each have travelled different journeys, and I ask that you pray that God meet them right where they are. And that they be open to the things of God.

Pray for traveling mercies, and cooperative weather.

Pray for the leaders of the camp to be open to the direction of the spirit.

Pray for our leadership that are going. for Nate, Lizzy, Kasey, and I. That we get some good bonding time with the teens that are going, and for God to use us to impact lives.

Pray specifically for Nate, that as he leaves Hattie and Caden at home, that he will be able to know that they are in good hands and not worry about them. Pray that Hattie has a smooth and hopefully restful weekend.

I know I am excited, but because of some things going on in Stacey-land am pretty distractable right now. I will update soon after I get home, but have an insanely busy week ahead of me upon my return.

Today

is the deadline for the February Challenge of the month Submissions!


If you won't see me today, but have something, let me know by the end of the day, and we'll see if we can work something out. Other wise I shall be posting the winner on either Sunday or Monday night depending on how tired I am from camp.


And this month's challenge deadline is the 31st of this month. I have 2 entries already! And I really like my prize I have in store!

SpoilerWarning!

I am not about to give away any movie endings, but I am about to sound spoiled.


Lately I feel unappreciated. Not by any one person in particular, but by life in general. I feel like I am invisible to people, unless I am doing something wrong.

Why can't the good things I do be seen? Why is it that the only feedback I am getting is negative?


Oh Well,I shall have to suck it up.

My apologies for the angst.

It is the first...

{EDIT}

I am changing the challenge! I forgot that Easter is upon us....

One decorated plastic Easter Egg will be the challenge this month. Be as creative as you like, and I will accept photo submissions on this one.

The prize for March will be a suprize bag! There is some good stuff in it,but half the fun of plastic Easter eggs is the surprise inside!

Verse for March

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)


I think that this is an exceptional verse for where I am right now.
