Busy Summer

Well, it's been a while since I've posted on here but for good reason. As most of you already know, summer can be a very busy time for youth ministers. It's the time when all the teens are out of school and things get a little crazy. Camps, mission trips, and so many other things just take up the entire time! We had our senior teen camp in late June and an event called Youth Wave this past week. I co-directed one and then directed the other so you can say it was pretty hectic. Now the only "big" event left is Faith Quest which takes place over Labor Day weekend. It is by far the most time intensive but the payoff is certainly worth it. What's nice about this summer in particular is that we've got to visit with a lot of our friends from out of town. We've played host a couple of times to our out-of-town friends and while it has been a full house it's been great to spend time with them. It certainly makes the days go by faster. What also makes this summer unique from all the others is that I have a little baby to take care of on top of all that other stuff. I have to admit that it's still challenging at times but I'm starting to learn how to balance all of this stuff. As much fun as the summer can be I usually long for the fall and school to start. Things die down a little and the schedule gets a little more predictable. Yay for school!
