WOW, first blog of the new year!

OK, so I realize that its almost February, and here I am just now posting my first post of the new year. Things have been a little hectic, so please forgive me. Finances have been rough, and I have been trying my hardest to get a job, and Jonathan even helping, it just stinks right now...people are getting laid off, and yet more people are still trying to get jobs, its a vicious cycle!!! So please pray to give us patience, and guidance...the last thing we need are sharp tongues towards one another when there really isn't anything more we could be doing towards forcing people to hire..its tough! Anyway, so the other reason I've been busy is that Jonathan is doing the True Love Waits program here with the middle schoolers this year, and it will be the first year in at least three years the program has been done with any age group at this church. At first, we weren't going to do it since Middle school is 6th-8th graders, some of them are just turning 11 years old, and we figured that was too young...until I looked at statistics for our nation. The average age students are becoming sexually active is 11-14 years old....THAT IS ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL. So the whole time we were telling ourselves that they could wait till High School, who knows...could be too late. So anyway, we're having that Feb 6-7th, and the last night....thats what I am in charge of, we're calling it Saturday Night ALIVE, and I've been going crazy trying to get all the entertainment out of the way, and still plan my lesson at the same time. There are four lessons, I am teaching the second one for the girls. The boys will be staying at mine and Jonathans house, and the girls, just down the road at another host home....please please please, be praying for us, as leaders, and be praying for the kids, so that they will take it in all seriousness.

Other than all of that, lets see what all has happened...oh goodness, hmmm...nothing too exciting I guess, if its this hard to think of stuff. I guess I'll go ahead and end this one, and get back to my work...so much to do, and not much time left!!!

Love and Miss Everyone!!
