i'm baaaack!

man! it seems like i haven't posted in decades, but it's only been five days. the technological age is weird like that...

today is crazy because our wednesday night programming starts tonight, along with our NEW and IMPROVED 5th and 6th grade youth group- THE FLIPSIDE! i'm so pumped to get back with the kids on a regular basis as we learn about Jesus together. a lot of times they end up teaching us more than we teach them!

i've been super excited lately for everything God is doing in my life. i've definitely felt more clarity in my life lately, which is awesome since a lot of days i feel like i'm in a fog; it kind of makes following God a lot easier in the present when you have no clue what will happen in the future. I've been praying a LOT about grad school and timing and where i should go, and i finally feel like i have some idea of what's going on, but i don't want to jump the gun, so you won't get any big announcements for awhile. i'm looking at a couple different schools though, locally and nationally, trying to discern what's best for me in the long run.

in other news, today will be spent making new permission slips that actually cover us, legally. those old ones weren't even close, man...
