Hoot! Dinosaurs not Owls

Tonight was another typical Wednesday of Youth Ministry, except the students played Dino Ball!  Basically each kid plays the part of a different Dinosaur and they can only do certain things as they attempt to work together as a team to score goals.  So the T Rexes had to keep their arms tucked in like T Rexes do, Stegasauruses could only kick the ball when they tried to score, etc...it was funny and the kids really seemed to get into it, and I thought they were a hoot to watch!!  Hoot! now I'm my grandma! :) 

On a more serious note, as a group we have less than $4,000 to raise!  Praise The Lord!  What an answer to prayer! :)  It's been amazing to see how God has opened doors and paved the way for this trip in many different ways, including financially.

I continue to develop relationships and get to know our students on a more personal level, which is huge for me; I feel more prepared for the trip.  I've enjoyed being able to laugh with them, (and at aka Dino Ball) as they experience youth ministry.  I'm reminded of what a truly unique time of life it is and how fulfilling the time spent with the other students can really be; it's neat to be a fly on the wall of it all. :)

Pray for: More open doors with our students.  Calm hearts and clear minds.  Full weeks of camp!  Continued financial blessing.  Health.  And overall continued blessing on the trip.
