So, I finally finished furnishing, painting and arranging my new office....for now. At this point I am ready to decorate it....that's the most exciting part! I can't wait to put my pictures and posters up. Woot! (That was for Emily. She says that I don't say that word so it sounds funny when I do!)Serious issues and struggles have come up in the lives of several of our youth group members and it has caused quite some turmoil. It's hard to be a teenager, that's for sure, and these ones have really been hit hard and it's become very relevant in the last couple weeks. Chaz called me the other day to let me know that "a crapload is coming at you". He's right. It's all at once. Just proof that when you are working the hardest to serve God and following Him with all you've got, the enemy is going to attack the hardest. The church has got a good thing and he wants to mess it up. So I would like to ask for your prayers for my youth....which is diminishing in number due to what's going on...but we know more kids will come.... I wish I could share specifics, but I can't. Just pray for these people- Jon, Paul, Julie, Jess, Christine, Scott, Liz, Nick, Melanie, Brian, Erin, Becky, Mariah, Michaela, Trevor, the others that are not as regular (or I'm actually forgetting), and our leaders, Nathan, Jess, Troy, Mark, and myself. Man, just thinking about what's going on specifically for some is enough to depress me. Wow. But our God is a good God. And the glory will be given to Him.
