The last week as follow....
Valentines Day= a busy church night working with youth. feel the love. God is doing some amazing things in our youth group.
Thursday= a wonderful date night with my valentine. we ate steak and came home and watched the notebook (yes i cried, it's hard not to)
Friday= a night for fun and relaxation. i took some girls from my youth group out to dinner while ben took one of our guys out for dinner... i got to come home and clean house a bit and FINALLY start scrap booking our honeymoon pictures! yeah! then we finished the night watching the visitation (a freaky Christian flick) with our associates son.
Saturday= slept in!!! sweet... spent the day cleaning and scrap booking and organizing my new scrap booking stuff (the before and after pictures will come later). ben and i went shopping at walmart for some dinner foods and picked up robin hood men in tights. what a funny movie! then more sleep...wonderful!!
Sunday= Ben's 25th birthday!!! several of the youth workers and myself wore all black outfits for his birthday as he is now 1/2 way over the hill. naw, i just joke with him about being old cause he's 3.5 years older than i am... it doesn't matter now but when he's 50 i'll still be a young 46! :) ben was able to lead 4 boys to the Lord in Sunday school!!!! GOD IS AWESOME!!! Also, our pastor and his wife took us out to eat at olive garden for lunch (which was wonderful), ben preached that evening (a great message on bearing others burdens) and after that we went to cracker barrel for a late dinner. {at cracker barrel i looked through the store and saw the CUTEST collection of home decorations. there was a beautiful lamp that would be perfect for a little girls room. i am soooo tempted to go there and get the lamp just to keep it for a "hope i get a girl baby someday" wish. i don't want to freak ben out too much, maybe i'll just wait a while. it would get dusty in a box for several years. we'll see what happens....anyway}
Monday= A DAY OFF!! Thank You Lord!! Ben and I both slept in, which is the best thing ever, and after that we did a little bit more cleaning and then we to fort myers which was a blast. a day of shopping out in the warm florida sun. we were driving and all of a sudden we came across an old past time restaurant from college called mcallisters. it was amazing. we were craving something familiar that we hadn't had in a long time and it hit the spot. we were wanting it so badly that we ate dinner at 3 Pm. sad i know... but it was worth it!!!
Tuesday= school and a little more scrap booking.
Wednesday= a terrific day at school. i had lunch with one of my girls in my class and i was able to see where she was at as far as salvation went. God has been challenging me lately to really witness to these kids. i know that many of them aren't coming back to that school next year and i know that if i don't witness to them then who will? anyway, every wednesday i will have lunch with one of my students to see where they are at with salvation. {so if you can think about it, please keep me in your prayers, especially on wednesday's when i have lunch with these students... if not salvation for these kids i will hopefully plant a seed.} tonight at church was another amazing night at youth group. God is doing some amazing things in our youth group. people are growing and getting into the Word and relationships are truly being built right now. please keep us in your prayers...when good things are happening I know that satan doesn't like what's going on so really pray that satan will be restricted from what we are doing. kids are getting excited about their own growth as well as seeing what God is doing in their life.

This next week= Saturday we are going to the fair to paint kids faces and use it to share the gospel. pray that the kids would get the boldness of how to share Christ with others as well as kids getting genuinely getting saved.

Well that is all for now, but I'm sure more will come as the days go by...
