On Vacation!!!

I am currently on vacation with the teens of Berean Baptist. We are at Mission Fuge, or M-fuge, which is a camp with a focus on missions. So far this week has been a lot of fun and has also had a great impact on our teens. Some of them have been stretched and asked to step out of their comfort zones and serve God. Even I have been a little out of my comfort zone this week. We were all put in different groups and I am one of the ones that is not with anyone from Berean when we are on ministry sites. I am also the only one from our church that is on the Games and Recreation track. I am with a few people from Virginia though, who are from about 30 minutes from Lynchburg, so that has been cool. We just had our last day out at sites since we leave in the morning. I am looking forward to going home, since I haven't seen Jewell since we left last Saturday! I really miss her, but I know Joe probably misses Hannah a little more, since they got married 2 weeks before camp and she didn't come with us all to camp. Pray for a lasting impact on the teens lives, as several have made decisions to be more Christ-like or to serve others more often. Pray that camp isn't just a spiritual high point and that it is more of a life-long change that is made in their lives. I have been really blessed to see their hearts this week and to see some of them really grow! Well, it is about time for dinner, so I am gonna go for now. I will write more later, when I get a chance to.

What's new so far...

It has been almost a month since I last posted any updates. Part of that has been that although things at the school slow down, things at church and elsewhere have picked up. I have been to 2 weddings this month and am preparing for Mission Fuge, a missions camp that I am going to with our teens next week. Also, I have been looking for a new job and trying to buy a house. The house is on hold until I get a better job, but that may not be too long. I had an interview today and it went really well. I won't know for about a week or so, but I have a friend that works there and things sounded good at the interview. The starting pay if I get salary will be atleast $26,000 and if I start at hourly then I will be making $10-12/ hr. Either way it is definitely an increase in pay over what I have been making at Liberty. I will probably stay on part time here, but with how things have been going on my shift, I don't plan on staying too long. I am going to keep doing what I need to in order to find another job, especially one that fits more with my major, or atleast my minor from LU. That is really all for now, so I will write more when I get back from camp!!!
