WEEK 6
Another crazy week this was! Here's general hours... 2 hours sermon prep, 1 hour preaching Sun. morning plus other responsibilities, 3ish hours for youth group, and 1 hour hunting down a speaker for this Sun. morning. I'm also going to add to that my hours for today (Sunday the 26th). 2 hours Sun. School prep, 1 hour Sun. School, 2 hours in service (worship team, administering communion, pastoral prayer, Scripture Reading), 3 hours mentoring, 2 hours painting the youth room, and 3.5 hours taking the youth to a concert. So, for a week and one day... 20.5 hours.
I had to play catch-up this week on my school work... that was not ANY fun. 14 hours studying in one day just makes you want to give up. However, I think I pulled through with all A's, which again just demonstrates God's grace.
Preaching Sunday morning was quite the experience. God really helped me through it, and His Spirit was faithful to move. My family came up for it--Mom, Dad, Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle. It was great. Hunting down a speaker for this morning was stressful to say the least. The concert with the youth tonight was a lot of fun. Here's a pic!
Wednesday night, one of my youth workers took the message for me, which was a huge relief. I needed the extra time for school work. My "rebellious smokers" may not be back because my van drivers banned them from riding the van because they were tormenting the younger kids. I hate it... but I don't really know what I can do.
Another crisis this week--one of my junior highers has had multiple siezures. Things are kind of scary. His mom is trying to get him into Riley. However, there's also all kinds of drama between him and two of my girls. The mom thinks they are part of his problem. It's very tense.
My mentoring time with one of my girls was great today. I took her out to Applebee's. It was a refreshing time. On that note, I will end my blog. Praise God I just have less than a week before I leave for spring break. A break will be a very welcome thing, although I'm coping very well with everything at the present moment. God is good!

I'm just seeing if I can get these comments to work. Hope your week goes well. Oh yeah, leave some pics of the completed youth room.
