Trying to remain faithful...to my blog

So in efforts to remain faithful to my blog I'm trying to post more. Whether great or not so great I'm going to post more often.

Reading list:
Do Hard Things: a teenage rebellion against low expectations - by Alex and Bret Harris

Dreaming Big: Energizing yourself and your team with a crystal clear life dream - by Bobb Biehl and Paul Swets

360 degree leader - by John Maxwell

The Giver - by Lois Lowry

So far I'm really into Do Hard Things...it is a great book for all people ministering to youth and is a even better for your youth to read!

To do list

1. Accomplish all important work task before I leave for the women's conference in Atlanta (1 week from today)

2. Go to Barnes and Noble to pick up all the books I ordered and plan on reading while on vacation

3. Pull luggage out of the attic

4. Begin thinking "what do I want to bring with me to the Bahamas?"

5. Prepare to relax and receive from the Lord while at the women's conference. PTL

6. Resist the desire to purchase anything else for vacation until I go to Atlanta where I will shop till I drop *note-to-self bring an empty luggage bag for all the shopping goods.

7. Tell Johnathon how awesome he is because he is the greatest husband ever and I love him very much.

8. Stop making this to do list and go work-out at the gym!!!

Life...

May ended June is already 12 days gone...how does that happen soo fast!?

If you would like to take a look at Marcie's wedding pictures go to David Molnar Weddings The pictures are amazing! Thank you David and Tammy Molnar for being so great!

The weekend after the wedding we had Johnathon's grandparents (Damiens side) surprise 50th anniversary! It was so sweet. They had no clue. Here are the 2 good pics we have...our battery died in the camera. (Hint, hint...Gary or Angie email me some pictures).

Then the next big event was the "Desperation Youth Retreat" we have been planing for months! June 6 -7 it was awesome. The Lord was so faithful throughout the entire retreat and changed the lives of so many youth! Do we have any pictures...nope still a dead battery!

So this is the month of transition in the youth group and church. Nate and Amy (the current youth pastors) are moving to Alabama. Johnathon, myself and Aaron $ are transitioning into the youth leader position. We are sad and excited. Sad that Nate and Amy will be gone...excited because the Lord is stirring and churning a deep desire in our hearts for the Youth of our Church so we know it is the ministry that the Lord is calling us to right now. Although it is an interim position we are ready to be used of the Lord for how ever long this season last!

At the end of this month I will be attending a Women's Conference in Atlanta called "Deeper Still" and I'm really excited!

Then...July 1...will take us to....drum roll please....

What looks like this?Has one of these?

And I get to do this...

...and this...

...all day, every day!

!!!!THE BAHAMAS!!!!

Johnathon, Myself and his parents are going to the Bahamas...ahhh I can't wait! I plan on charging my camera battery for that!
