My Team!


So I am offically at Focus on the Family Institute! There are a total of 48 of us which is exciting because we are half of the normal class size! We have done some crazy things already. The first game that we played I was paired up with a guy named David. We had to choose a double name for our team so naturally we chose salt and pepper. We were then seperated and put on opposite ends of a giant field and instructed to call out eachother's name at the top of our lungs untill we found eachother. My teammates name for the game was salt, so I got to wonder around the park yelling salt at the top of my lungs (use your imagination, it was very funny:). The inflection in our voice as we got closer was great, and we found eachother in record time (though I can't prove it because it was not actually timed)! So aside from the fun though, each game was designed to help us identify our leadership skills and those of our teammates. It was a wonderful time and I am so excited about the team that God has put me in. Having said that meet my team: starting at the top left in the back we have Jenna, my roommate Britany, Me, Amy, Elizabeth, and Laura. Then coming down to the front left we have Hal, Ben, David, and Gary! These people are wonderful and have blessed me so much already. Over this summer we will be working togeather to edify, challenge, encourage, and engage eachother to grow closer to Christ, to know God, and to become the agents of change that we are intended to be in this world. Please be praying for me and my teammates!

About Me

My photo
It's funny the things that we learn as we grow. And I don't just mean as we get older, I mean as we learn about ourselves, our world, and our God. I am 25 and I am learning that the circumstances of life are unpredictable. However the presence of God in those curcumstances, in my life and in my heart, is more constatnt even then the rising sun. God is the creator, fullfiller, and motivator of my dreams and desires. His presence is the key to their success and value, and his presence is the joy of my life. This blog is to share as he pursues me and I learn to abide in his presence.
