Wednesday

Wednesday's are crazy, but fun. I have 2 meetings this morning and tonight we have our junior high and high school experiences. This is the last week of our Chemistry series. The first week we talked about finding the ONE (Christ), the second week we talked about what to look for in the TWO (boyfriend or girlfriend). This week is about purity. It should be pretty great.

Facing the Facts

Last night we had an "Experience for Parents". The night was dedicated to informing parents about tenns and sex. We had about 40 parents there. The main goal was to inform parents. We gave lots of stats about teens and sex, had a video of some of our leaders talking about how important their parents interaction was with them. We didn't want to tell parents how to parent, but we challenged them to keep their children accountable. We had a lot of parents telling us they wanted us to do it again so they could tell more parents about it. So hopefully it will be even better next time.

Last Night

Last Night was great. It was 100 times better than last week. We had a hilarious game on video called sink or float. It was like 10 minutes and just funny. I will try to put it on here as soon as I can. We are in the middle of our series called Chemistry. Last night the message was over the Song of Solomon. Over all it was awesome. I know will just continue to get better and better.

Very Busy Day

Wednedsay's are crazy, but awesome.
9:00am - Intern Meeting. It's weird to go from being an intern to leading an intern meeting
10:00am - Student Minstries Staff Meeting
1:30pm - Lunch with a leader
4:00pm - Run through the program tonight
5:00pm - Set up room and get things ready for 6:30pm experience
6:00pm - Meeting with leaders and prayer over night
6:15pm - open doors for students
6:30pm - Experience starts
8:30pm - Experience ends
Then we start tearing down, because the room we meet in is not just for Student Ministries
10:00pm - Head Home
As you can see it is a very busy day, but as always I find enough energy to make through. Tomorrow I will post about how it went.

WOW

So I have been here almost 3 weeks now. By here, I mean on my new job at Journey Church in Norman, Oklahoma. It has been a tough adjustment. I really miss California. I never thought I would say that, but it is true. Anyways, Oklahoma is wherer I am now. It is definately a lot different than Saddleback. I do have a team, but its just different. We have our experiences on Wednesday nights instead of the weekends. And our small groups meet on Sunday nights. Also, we have Friday's off instead of Monday's. I have a lot of getting used to. Our Wednesday night experience is not where it should be, so for now that is my focus. Making Wednesday night the best I can and building into our volunteers. One thing that is pretty sweet is that I am given $50 bucks a week to take students or volunteers out to lunch. Anyways, that is what I have for now. Oh yeah, I also received my first paycheck after nearly 2 1/2 years. It felt pretty good, but the government sure gets a lot of it. Oh well, nothing I can do about that. Whoever reads this I truly do love you all. I will try to udate this more now that I am getting in a routine.
