time files

so Denver was already so long ago. Now I have friends getting married and engaged and it's just...time flies so fast.
i've been working like a mad woman lately!

When I returned from Denver I was informed I was on my own with the youth. Lately I've been feeling a little overwhelmed with all the people of the church, the parents and the youth asking me about events, summer trips, fundraisers, volunteer efforts, parent meetings, potlucks, budget stuff, positions to fill, picnics and such.
I've been able to maintain my composure through all of this....while maintaining a full-time job.
and it was last night...while I was downstairs w/ the former intern, folding the youth blankets that I realized not only am I not alone but I've never been alone.
I have the love and support of many dear dear people.

-Daniel has single-handedly (is this a word) planned and somewhat organized a canoe trip for the youth. i knew i wanted one but had NO IDEA where to even begin. Thanks dan.

-Bryan and Kim have made it possible to maintain safe sanctuaries multiple times...and thanks for being there while i was gone to denver.

-Heather...and heather...where do I even start. she's helped to guide and encourage me to learn the Bible more. and help me plan lessons and ice breakers....

-Brad, last but not least...brad. the very goofy, encouraging, and always positive brad. Rev. you're awesome.

....it's a new start :-).
