Unfortunately, summer is officially over for me. Although it has been quite an interesting one. Lots of changes for me personally, some have been easy and some have been hard. One thing stays the same is God is in control. I have to cling on to this promise and know that he has a plan and purpose for me way greater than my teeny tiny brain can think about. Most of the time, I can get bogged down by lives trials and I have to stop and BE STILL!
Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
What a refreshing tiny scripture, with so much truth packed into those eight words! He is GOD! Enough said!
So some highlights of my summer....
CAMT conference- Gaylord Texan 2011
This was lots of fun, some math was learned but more than that friendships were strengthened and new ones were formed! I laughed more over those three days than I had all summer! I love to be around people who 'get me'! I especially enjoyed my roomie- Jean Simmons she was a great care taker, she even tucked me into bed...haha! I seriously work with the best people ever!

Let me start my mentioning how we seriously have the best kids ever. No really, I was so impressed by our youth kids ability to step up and lead our children. We meet at Rose Rudman and had VBS style activities, and different colored team with spirit competitions! It was lots of fun the kids really enjoyed getting all spirited up. More than that they loved praising and worshiping Jesus. There is nothing better to watch than kids singing, praying, and reading God's word. I love working with Children's ministry for this very reason. I am humbled again and again by their compassion for each other and their sweet spirits. I think we could all learn lots from them.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
Overall, a great summer! I am truly blessed. I have felt an out pouring of God's love through my friends and church family. I am overwhelmed by the generosity and encouragement. I am thankful.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. - 1 Thessalonians 5:11
