On a lighter note, I went to see Tara's little Caleb this afternoon. He is so cute! And, he is doing so much better, the pneumonia is gone and he is regulating his blood sugar on his own. Praise God! Thanks for all the prayers for them last week!
1st Day of School
Do you remember your first day of 7th grade? I remember mine, I could hardly wait to get home and tell my mom about jr high and how much I liked it more than elementary school. I was nervous at first, but quickly found my niche. Yesterday was the first day of school in Zeeland, and I am sure that there was a lot of nervousness. I got to school lunch and went right to the 6th grade hallway to help them with their lockers. I love 6th graders, and I love helping them with their lockers, when I get it open I know I have made a good first impression. (when I can't get it open I usually ask if they are sure this is their locker...you would be surprised how many times we are trying to open the wrong locker :) I met up with one of the girls that I took to camp. She told me about all the drama with her parents and the choices that they had been making, all I can say is keep praying for the staff of YFC and the kids that we run into like this girl on a daily basis.
A Long Week
This week has been a long week! It started Monday with a Staff/Board meeting early in the morning followed by a Staff only meeting, needless to say we were in meetings for about 5 hours that day. Then Monday night, I went to Merle Lynema's Funeral at the Bridge. Keep Karen in your prayers this week and in the weeks to come, I can't imagine losing your spouse. Karen spoke at the funeral and did a great job, she is such a strong person to be able to do that. Tuesday through Thursday was our annual Youth for Christ Regional conference. It was ok, the general session speakers did a great job, but I never get much out of the Campus Life Breakouts, they seem to teach us the same thing over and over! From there we went to the Chap Clark conference Thursday and Friday at Providence Church in Holland. This was a great conference, Chap is a professor at Fuller Seminary and the author of several books (including Hurt, and When Kids Hurt). He is an excellent speaker and very insightful, if you work with teenagers or have one at home, I recommend checking out these books! Last night however was the highlight of the week, after dinner with Mom and Dad and Kelly at Florentines (haven't been there in a long time), we went out to the Apple Store and I am proud to say that I am the new owner of a MacBook Pro! I have never had a Mac, so I am still getting used to it, but I LOVE IT! Thanks to my sisters for helping me out last night. I just finished working out (I am on the first week of P90X and really like that too) and now I am headed in to Grandville to see my Grandma and my Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Paul! I guess that's all for now!
They are not playing well.....BUT......
They are still my team. The last two games have been pretty bad, let's just hope the get their game face on for tonight! Here are some picture from last time I was at Comerica and got to go on the field for Fan Picture Day! #1 Carlos Guillen---#2 Edwin Jackson
