Update: I am sorry that I haven't blogged in a while. There has been a lot going on in my life and the lives of my family members. For those of you who know my family you know that my mom had brain surgery last month and it went amazing. Please continue praying for her recovery. She is experiencing partial paralysis in her face, but the pain from her jam has not come back which is exciting. They were also able to remove 98% of the tumor. I also started my masters this semester. I haven't been in school since 2005 when I finished my bachelors and boy is it a time investment. It is so exciting though to be learning more about studying the word of God. I am working on a Masters in Biblical Counseling and taking a Hermeneutics class. It has been completely opened my eyes in my own personal study of the Bible and in preparing messages for our kids. I am extremely excited about everything I am learning.
So this week we didn't have Club... our leadership team has been going strong throughout the entire summer and so we decided to take a small break this week to breathe before the rest of the semester. It was such a great time of rest and fellowship. Because I was free on Tuesday and Wednesday night I was able to go watch one of our 8th grade friends win in football on Tuesday and one of our 7th grade girls perform in a dance recital with the Smith Middle school choir on Wednesday. Honestly on Wednesday I was exhausted and not really sure if I was going to go to the show, but God told me I should... so I did. I took one of my other middle school friends Julia and headed out there. What a blessing it turned out to be. Not only did Kaylee perform amazingly, but I ran into two of the girls that went to Camp Buckner with us... Abby and Jenesis. They have both been so busy throughout this semester with extracurricular activities that I hadn't seen them at all. Just seeing how excited they were to be performing for their families and to watch them singing "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars and "Firework" by Katie Perry which were both songs that we loved singing together at Camp brought tears to my eyes. There is no doubt in my mind that that was a God ordained night. He reminded me that He is still working in those girls lives whether or not I am able to be there. I love how the Lord sends us those glimpses of His presence. I am so glad that I listened to Him and went. I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on the message He wanted to give me!!
