Hangin' with the gals on Spring Break Road Trip
I hope this letter finds all of you well and full of joy as we draw Spring to a close and say hello to Summer! This spring has been cram-packed with youth trips and events and I must say, I am pooped! 
In March, we took the kids on Spring Break Road Trip to a place called Camp Champions in Marble Falls, Texas, where we enjoyed a much needed time of unlimited hang out sessions with the kids. I loved it! At the camp, we had kayak wars on the lake, played on the blob & rope swing, learned a new game that the kids loved called GaGa, and just laid around in the grass. We had an outdoor movie one night and went into town to get some world-famous pie from the Bluebonnet Diner. My favorite part of the trip, however, was being able to spend an hour with the Lord every morning and have “Open” time with the kids every night instead of a talk. During “Open”, the kids were free to ask any question about faith, life or the Bible that they wanted. From there, we went to the Word to discuss. I felt like it was so beneficial for them to be able to get down to some of the deep issues in their lives. I am so thankful that the Lord worked in many of their hearts, convicting and leading them towards change.
In addition to Spring Break, the Jr. High and Sr. High hung out at the all-nighter called NIGHTRO… what a crazy night!!! We also took some kids to Pine Cove Work Crew, where they were able to serve Jesus and a group of people who where on a retreat there. I was so thankful for some of the really deep and convicting conversations that the Lord prompted me to have with a couple of my girls.
The Lord has been so faithful in this ministry, and I think that my biggest encouragement this semester has been the times when I have prayed in faith for specific girls, and been totally awe-struck as the Lord answered my prayers so quickly. My heart has been so burdened for those who do not have a desire or see a need for time in the Word daily. I love watching God convict and restore my girls as they learn what it is to truly walk daily with Christ in a personal relationship.
PLEASE PRAY…
1. That the Lord will give them a passion for His Word!
Right now, one of the biggest ongoing struggles for my girls is giving Christ first place in their lives (don’t we all though?!). Most of them are still having a difficult time making time with God away from church a priority. Please pray that the Lord will give them an unrelenting desire to seek HIm daily.
2. For opportunities for needed spiritual conversations to arise with the kids.
3. For God’s direction for our ministry and for direction and provision as we are thinking of raising my hours to full time!
