This time of year is always crazy, but so much fun. We're getting ready for the IMPACT team to leave, then NYGO, then camp season.
Not only are these great things to look forward too, but it is fun to watch students take their relationship to a deeper level.
A couple of days ago I went out with a girl in our youth group. I've know her for a few years and have grown pretty close with her. She has shared a great deal with me, but I knew that there was something pretty huge that she hadn't shared yet. My prayer all year is that sometime she would share that with me.
Well, she finally did. I am so proud of this young lady. She has grown so much this past year and this was just the next step. I know that as this summer continues she will continue to allow God to transform her life. She will be very influential in her school next year.
WAY TO GO!!!

Aaron & Hur
For NYGO our team is working through the MAX Q devotional book. One day in particular we read Exodus 17: 8-16. This passage talks about the Battle the Joshua was fighting and Moses told him that when his (Moses') hands were raised, the battle will be won. Well, after a long time, Moses' arms grew tired. His two friends, Aaron & Hur, held up his hands when he could no longer do so.
I am reminded of my Aaron & Hur. Below you will see my response I wrote in:
"I was reminded of the importance of having an Aaron and Hur in your life. Individuals who can push you forward when you want to give up; encourage you toward Christ when your faith is waivering; and speak truth to you when you are out of line.
I was reminded of my Aaron and Hur. Besides Derry, I have two individuals in my life that hold my hands up when I an too tired to continue and we are losing the battle. Those friends are Katie Weiss and Mindy Graverson. Both are very important to me, both very different (like day 3 talks about). I need both of them in my life because they keep me accountable on different areas of my life. I love them dearly and Praise God for two friends who will push me forward when I want to give up.
Thanks to Mindy & Katie! "
