After...

-

I am exhausted. A good exhausted you know. The girls retreat from my point of view went really well. The schedule felt packed and good, yet lots of time for hanging out and getting to know each other. The speaker had a great report with the girls, they all like her and she taught scripturally walking them thru some great passages. I was very thankful for Cammi's talent and heart. She was great to have around to teach the girls!
My friends who did the break out sessions ROCKED!! The girls thought they were all practical and helpful. So i am praying that those hands on activities will mark their brains and keep them focused on Jesus!
They worked really hard at the Fall Festival our church throws for our 'Judea'. Doing all sorts of carnival games and maning the inflatables. We pray that the community was blessed and excited about that.
Friday night we did something really fun! Cammi had recipes for face scrub, hand scrub and toner. We asked the girls upon arriving to wash off all their make up. Some of the girls avoided me when i asked...but i kept being persistent and finally they did, so after the worship we pampered them with home made scrubs. It was fun. Two of my mom's brought a chocolate fountain and we dunked, oreos, marshmallows, pretzels and bananas with punch. It was a nice night for the girls

Spooky things afoot

The other night we heard a knock on the door...upon my answering there was no one there...just a plastic pumpkin filled with goodies and two pieces of paper. It said we had been "Booed". Something spooky was going on in our neighborhood and if we didn't want to get it again we were to tape the other picture to our door.    Since i couldn't find tape i used post-it notes...sad i know. haha There was a poem that came with it explaining how you are to make two more buckets/baskets, copy the two papers and pass it on by ding dong ditching them! I asked my neighbor and friend Kati to go with me cause Kimmel was at the football game. It was very exciting and crazy...i had never ding dong ditched...at least that i remember and i think i would remember something that fun! :) If you live in a neighborhood this is a great way to spread fun and get to know each other. I wish i kept a copy of the poem...but i am sure you can make something up that would be perfect! Happy sp...

What's Next?

This week is the first week of a new schedule for me. I am cutting my 'hours' in half at work. This means i go from the 40 hours a week to 20 in office hours. I am excited to see what God has next for me. As most of you know ministry isn't in an office, but the office time was suffocating me. So now there is freedom, freedom to do what i am not sure just yet. I have mentioned before Andrew and i's desire to minister to our lil townhouse circle, so i am praying for vision and opportunity there. Being domestic and a untired, focused wife to Andrew is another desire of mine. Don't have much to say just yet...i am excited on this new adventure. I will keep you posted as God shows me what the path his he has for us Kimmels :) He is a good God and i am glad He loves me! It is for freedom he set us free. It is for freedom i cut my pay in half :) hahaha

Since my sister's wedding when i was in 10th grade i have been in a total 13 weddings, none my own. At one point mom told me i needed to stop saying yes! I actually used two of the dresses twice believe it or not! :) It was a privilege to have girls in my wedding knowing that they trusted and loved me long time ago to be in their wedding and were willing and happy to come be in mine. This fall i have the honor of being in my best friend since 1st grades wedding-Amber, and Andrew's best friend's Kyle- we are both in that one! It is exciting to watch the stories unfold and share in their special day. I was at a shower for Maddie and Kyle's wedding this past weekend and i snapped a picture of this lil centerpiece the hostess had made. I thought it was really sweet and i had to share! One of the annoying thing about 'cute' couples is when they giggle. But its only annoying when you aren't that couple, minus public displace of giggling and such i find that aw...
