Sorry Ive been so slack lately but my computer is down for the count. My tower wont turn on at all! 🙁 Im heading out to camp this afternoon and tomorrow for a 4-6th grade retreat. I should get going. See you all again soon!

I promised I would tell you about my retreat. What can I say? It was an absolutely amazing experience. I cannot even begin to describe how special this event was for me. My heart and spirit were touched and blessed in so many ways. I had some amazing conversations that really helped me think and reflect on my call to Diaconal Ministry. This retreat was exactly what I needed. I truly now know that I am not on this journey alone and that feeling helps me to continue to truck on. I wish I could explain this experience better but it is hard to put to words if you know what I mean. I know that I now have friendships with my brothers and sisters in Christ in Diaconal Ministry that will last a lifetime. This retreat experience and the feelings I felt there are definetely items that I will continue to hold on too in my Diaconal Ministry journey! Thanks be to God!

Im back! Im back from my diaconal ministry retreat. It was such an awesome experience. I’ll tell you more about it later. I just wanted you all to know I got back safely.

I just wanted to let you all know I am heading to AZ for some continuing ed stuff so Ill be gone until about Tuesday of next. Please pray for safe travels. Also please continue to pray for the family and friends of my camp friend and her mother. It has been amazing to me how we as camp staff (past and present) are rallying around each other in the midst of these deaths. I don’t think people realize how close you get when you work at camp. You spend three months in close quarters. You spend three months getting to know each other, building trust and relationships, and growing in our faith together. I am sad that I wont be able to attend the memorial service but plan on going to the viewing this afternoon with a friend. Please also pray for all the camp staff, friends, and family traveling to the memorial service tomorrow. See you all next week!

I dont really have the words to describe how Im feeling right now. I just ask that you send prayers up right now. A camp friend and her mother were killed in a car accident this weekend. Please pray for all of us that were touched by their love.

I thought spring was supposed to be here but guess not. Just the other day it was 80 degrees here and now today it is snowing like crazy. The ground is completely white and this morning when I came to work, I could see the ground. Im so ready for spring to be here. I am sick of being cooped up inside and stuff. Oh well. Hope everyone is staying warm! And if you haven’t had a chance checkout the poem I wrote that was posted two posts ago, please check it out! I’m always interested in knowing what others think. Have a blessed Holy Week and a Happy Easter!
