AM- 28....And the youth lived happily ever....
after?? Haha maybe not entirely, but for the most part. I work with an amazing group of kids at a church in my home town...and we spent MONTHS planning this Dinner Theater and it finally went through this past Sat (hence the lack of typage). And from Friday afternoon until Sunday late Sunday afternoon I spent every waking minute with these kids, working through this weekend and it could've gone extremely horrid and it WAS very stressful but in the end we are all the closer for it! :) I actually have a confession to make. The wonderful ladies who were cooking for us were pretty stressed b/c we didn't have a final head count for the evening so I finally gave them the not-so-random number of 55 people. Well Sat afternoon comes and turns out that we have sold more tickets than what we had food for...so we found out how many people were actually coming vs. how many people just bought tickets and we were over by a bit but it was going to be okay! And then I get a phone call from my mom's friend and she says that she's bringing like 8 people! And I was like okeeeeee.....we really have no more food. But I called her back and told her to bring them anyways....and then I get another phone call about another two people coming and these phone calls just kept coming! And I was the only person who knew about these "extra" extra people and in the end there was exactly the right amount of food and people there! WHEW! Let me tell you how I kept that a secret for a while! What God really did show me this weekend was that TRULY love (God's love) is what counts and that even if I put on the most successful, well run Dinner theater in the world that without love it is NOTHING! That our 2 months of working would be NOTHING! And that revelation is honestly the only thin that got me through this weekend...haha I woke up this morning with a "hang over" or what felt like a hang over and I'm still trying to recover but it's ALL good b/c it's ALL GOD

Yah for things going well!!! Rock it out Youth Pastor Amber! However I don't think there is any excuse not to blog. Except maybe if you are to the point of death exhaustion and your fingers can't actually move, or if you get tickets to best show ever...and even then you should probably be able to find some time to blog and make the rest of us jeleous. Yep I'm right. Hahah!
you're right! there's no excuse but I've already said my 10 hail Marys and repented for 2 hours straight! NEVER AGAIN LORD!! heehee
