10. They take me out to eat when I am having a bad day.
9. They always make me laugh.
8. They always have my back.
7. They would do anything for me.
6. They are fun to be around.
5. They help me with YFC events and newsletters!
4. They help me to be a better person.
3. They listen to me.
2. They support me.
1. The love me.


Thanks all you guys!

Let it snow...Let it snow...Let it snow!

It's snowing again...well at least in Holland and Zeeland, I guess we better get used to this weather, I'm just not ready for it yet! If you don't have to get out...I would stay in the roads aren't that great!

No school this week, the support letter went out, and REMIX is over so I am feeling a little less stressed right now. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving at Aunt Cherydl's (that's what we call my Aunt Cheryl)! I haven't seen some of my family in a while and it will be good to hang out with them!

At the office early......

I am sitting in the office alone this morning....I had to be here early to go to the board meeting this morning and give them an update, no one is here to talk to yet so I thought I would write a little bit. I can't believe that next week is Thanksgiving already, I guess that means I better get going on my Christmas shopping! I am feeling a little overwhelmed this week with work stuff....club yesterday (which went really well by the way), REMIX on Friday night, and I am trying to get my Thanksgiving support letter out! Zeeland has no school next week so I am excited about that! Try and get caught up at the office, and feel like I have a somewhat normal life again. I always go and decorate my Great Aunt Fran's house for Christmas on Black Friday with my Aunt Nancy, this will be the last year that we will be decorating that house, she has bought a smaller condo! 86 years old you go girl! I also usually help Nancy and Bill get their tree that day too, but they have already picked one out so all we have to do is cut it down, and get it to their house. Ok enough rambling for this morning....the staff is starting to show up so I better get ready for our staff meeting!

Club Week Four

Today is the fourth week of Club at the Bridge....things have been going really well! I have been happily surprised with how kids have been responding to the games and the lessons. If you haven't seen the movie Freedom Writers, I am going to plug it again...go rent it!

Last week we talked about the Woman and the Well, and how it was better to be known then be alone. Tonight is the last week of this series and it's all about LOVE. How Jesus sees us, hears us, knows us and LOVES us anyway. If you think of it say a prayer for me and the kids at the Bridge today around 4 pm. I am going to be sharing the gospel and giving kids the opportunity to make a decision for Jesus today!

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15

I know it's been a while...so here goes!

I have been out of the internet loop for a while! I have had a busy last couple weeks so I guess it's time to update the blog and all of you on what I have been up to....starting with Halloween! I went as Uncle Sam and my Grandma went as a prisoner who busted out! We had a lot of fun and a lot of good food that night!

Kirsten is a pig in a blanket....get it!?:-) and Karly went as a Chef thanks to her cousin Jarred!




Then last week started off on a great note, I went to see David Crowder on Monday night at Sunshine Church...that white boy can rock out!
The rest of the week was spent getting ready for our annual Youth for Christ Banquet. That was Thursday night at Laketown, it was a good time. It's always good when Bill grills some chicken for us! Friday I helped out at the Cityside Blender and Sunday I spoke twice at First Reformed Church, busy week. I am looking forward to the week of Thanksgiving, when Zeeland has no school and maybe...just maybe things will slow down a little bit!
