Chris and I recently started leading the middle school youth group on Fridays at our church. I've got to be honest, the first night was really overwhelming. It's been awhile since we've dealt with that age group. At our previous church, we had about 5 kids in our group. Now, we have about 14. Thaaat's a big difference. All of the sudden, I found myself trying to remember what was "cool" when I was in Middle School. Roller skating, Instant Messenger, and gel pens. Yeeeah, ALOT has changed. It's been really fun though. It's nice to see how excited they get over the possibility of going to events like Acquire the Fire & WinterJam. Because, I can so clearly remember being in Youth Group and awaiting the van rides to outreaches & youth retreats. It's kind of surreal, to be honest that we're the "adults" now.
2013 has proved to be a great year so far-and it's not yet February! After nearly a year of job searching, Chris landed a new full-time job. It's much more stable, close to home and just
b e t t e r. I am so proud of him for diligently applying to jobs day after day, week after week and month after month. With little to no complaining, might I add. He's such a great provider and rock for our little family. I look forward to see what the rest of this year holds. Aren't you?
Simply, Kate
