One of the greatest sounds in the world

I am currently just listening to by two boys play together upstairs. It is bringing me to tears. This a VERY rare occasion in this household. That here is no fighting or yelling but just fun. Oh the little things how I rejoice in those. Thank you God for those little things because they get me through the bigger things.

Summer Fun!!!

Man has life been that busy that I haven't even been able to write? As you know any of you in youth or children's minstry, life gets really busy when school lets out. Gabe and I have chruch activities out our ears and not just in one ministry. We started a small group for young marrieds which is great, we have I think about 10 couples. Yeah! You know that feeling when you are right where God wants you even if you didn't expect it? Well that's where I am in a ministry here at the church. Not only the small group of young marrieds, which we really felt God leading us to start but also I am a head leader of a high school girls group (snaps) with about 8-10 girls and there are 4 of us leaders in total. Head leading this group kind of fell in my lap. Our other head leader had to leave because of a job opportunity for her husband arose at another church. But I think moving us here and me being involved in this snaps group since Janurary, the Lord was preparing me to lead them. He knew that he needed me there to help and support Chelsea and then to move into her spot when she had to step down. How awesome our God is and how greatful I am that he choose to use me when he didn't need too. I love doing it and I wouldn't want to be any where else. When I first arrived at this church I wanted to be involved so much with women's ministry, I thought that is where I would best fit, but I love when our ways our not God's ways. Well most of the time I love it. :) I never did get involved with womens group but instead this ministry of young women. Yeah! I love ministry! I love the busyness, I love day trips and sleep overs, car washes, and now even I love T.P.ing which I recently did with the high school girls for the very first time. They were pretty excited to get me out there and I was pumped up as you can see in the pic. I have included some of our other great pictures from snaps, there are so many and I could just post a few, but my others will be on my flicker site so check them out. I hope to write again soon, but we may have to wait until the crazyness just stops if it ever does. Summer is crazy but it makes for a lot of great memories also. Both at church and at home. I will write more about exciting things happening at home later, but the big ones for now are that John has lost his first tooth, he is pointing at his hole in the picture and James sported his first mohawk. AHHH summer fun!!!!
