Thankful...

Good Book

I am in the middle of this book From Fear to Freedom. would highly recommend it.

"Faith and presumption look alike because both qualities are characterized by confidence, but faith begins in the recognition and acceptance of our total human weakness. It relies solely on God and his gracious willingness to empower us. Presumption, on the other hand, is a reliance on human moral abilities and religious accomplishments, on visible securities. It ultimately relies on human will power to serve God and people." Rose Marie Miller p.16

Learning a lot. Thankful for grace.

Catching Up

Looks like I am not good as keeping this blog going. Life has been busy! I can't believe Thanksgiving is here and Christmas is right around the corner. I am super excited to spend the holidays with Richard and our families.

Here is a little recap of the past month and a half. Primarily, it has been full of youth!! I love them dearly. I am also tired :)

The pictures below are from our Senior High Fall Retreat. We were all about good fellowship, pumpkin carving, fireworks, taco soup, movies, and staying up late.

On November 4, we had "Youth Night" at church to showcase the Youth Ministry - Blake and I introduced ourselves, student testimonies, Blake explained our philisophy of youth ministry, and we played the most popular "Adam's Family" game. You should know that for the past few years Trinity Church has been building a new addition. This marvelous addition includes a fellowship hall, new offices, classrooms, choir room, and a youth wing!!! The name of our new youth space is "The Frith." It is a scottish term meaning security, refuge, friendship, loyalty, kinship, and a clan upon which one depends to face the evils of the world. It is different but I love the name. I made t-shirts for all of us to wear for youth night.

For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

Psalm 100:6
