This morning I woke up went to the bathroom in a daze, felt like I had to sneeze, and because I was in the bathroom alone did not do the best job of covering my mouth, next thing I know the bathroom is covered in blood splatter. It took me a second and the felling of ooze running down my face to realize that I was losing my life juice from my nose. I grabbed some tissue and covered my face, trying to save the precious juice from ruining my clothing. I leaned my head back and headed downstairs to get some paper towel, more absorbent! I had to intermittently check to see if the bleeding was stopped, and eventually it was. I was in such a daze when it happened that I forgot that there was blood all over the bathroom walls until Kevin came home and found it! Sorry!
After that all settled down I checked my e mails and facebook account. made some phone calls to doctors and the insurance company and then started baking for Christmas morning. In between batches I wrapped the last of the gifts and played with the dogs.
Then I realized that I really like my tree and the atmosphere that it brings to the house! It feels like I just put it there and made it cute! That was a disastrous day! My goodness! Sometimes I think that people try to make my life miserable on purpose!
Anyway, so i really love him(the tree) and the lights......if everyone kept their Christmas stuff up all year then it would not be weird.....so who is with me?
We can start a revolution........

Ministry
So i am taking a break from trying to force onto paper all that God has placed on my heart. I am finding that the passion that God has given my for the Youth is expanding. I am starting to see that when you are working with the youth and you are trying to show them that they have a purpose, that they are loved, that they can make a difference, that they can overcome the hard issues that they face, you have to do more then just tell them these things one day a week. Somehow you have to get into their everyday life. I know that I can not be there with them when they go home and go to school and guide them in the right direction and encourage them when they are discouraged, and then build them back up after they have been torn down (although I would like to) I have to get involved with the people that are with them during these times. teachers, siblings, parents, friends, aunts, uncles, whoever it takes......
These are the people that I have to reach out to because they are hurting and they are passing the hurt down the generational lines. Ahhhhh!!!!!!! Now to come up with a plan to get these people reached.......
That is the hard part.......anyone out there that does family ministry? I am looking for some ideas!
