Updates on Getaway and my life!

The rockies were ABSOLUTELY breathtaking!

I got back on thursday night from Getaway and I am currently back up in SLO for a wedding and also to get the rest of my stuff from my house.  

Thank you so much for your prayers, they were totally answered as about 98% of the kids rededicated or gave their lives to Christ, He drove a stake deep inside their hearts for change and they experienced true communion with our King.  I forgot how much energy high school students have, they left me so tired, but I was able to connect with all of them and the Lord really allowed me to get close to them, and now I am stoked to be able to build into their lives by the Grace of God this summer as I lead them in Summer Venture.

So I always love to share the stories that the Lord reveals to me.  I was sitting on a porch overlooking the rockies in an old rocking chair and I saw a father and daughter walking as she held his hand on the path, but she changed her mind and wanted to go in the field of dandelions, so he let her run into the field as she bent down and picked the perfect dandelion for her dad as she handed it to him.  They then proceeded back to the path and right before they got back to it, she lifted up her hands(like we do in worship) for him to pick her up, so he then picked her up and put her on his shoulders as they walked into the distance.  That was such an amazing picture of how the Lord wants us to walk with Him.

We will be starting our first Summer Venture meeting on Monday and it will be an awesome way to kick off the summer and continue the theme of Getaway which is "First Things First."  Until next time though!

God Bless!

Rocky Mountain Getaway!

I am heading off to Colorado for a week with Student Venture and this is really the first time I will be with the high schoolers, getting to know them and building relationships that I can take back to San Diego for the summer.  I am pretty stoked, I have never been to Colorado and I hear its B-E-A-utiful! (bruce almighty quote)  But this verse was put on my heart for the trip, because I will be a leader there, the verse is Colossia 4: 5-6 "Walk in wisdom toward those who are on the outside, redeeming the time.  Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how to answer."  My prayer is that this verse speaks to you as much as it did for me!

The Lord is a God who is filled with laughter and humor and He always seems to show me one thing that makes Him laugh throughout the day, yesterday I was driving and saw a perfect banana peel on the road and i always heard that they would spin your car out, so i said to myself, why not, I ran over the banana peel and nothing happened.... Dissapointment turned into laughter.
