I'M GOING TO HEMLOCK!
So I'm just @ work supper excited about headding out this afternoon to go on our Youth Group's anual trip to Hemlock for a weekend Retreat! Whoot whoot!
and than I got thinking..............
Last year this trip was a weekend later.......and before we left for the trip I remembver talking to my friend Jared (who has spent the past 4 months in columbia with his wife as youth pastors..but he's back for a week for his sisters wedding.which is really wexciting....but anywase) I remember his saying to me
"Hey Melissa, you excited about diving into out new study on Job" and I said, "Nope not at all! I'm worried, God's teaching me a lot about Job, I know he's preparing my hear for something huge! But I'm not gunna like it" and than I got back from the retreat, and it was late and Michelle called me and told me Britt had dies.
Why am I bringing it up. Well I think (now a year later...I didn't see it back than) How cool God is. And how even for a huge tragedy he takes care of his children and provides for them......like how he was preparing my hear B4 britt died. I'm sure a lot of people are looking at the calanders waiting for Feb. 27 to come up so we can have a reason to miss britt again...or maby that's just how I feel........but I think God is good.........and Yah, just felt like sharing!
Hey, Question, what exactly are we suposed to do on the 27th? You guys having a memorial service or anything like that in Winkler for her Julia? Meh, I guess we just go on with our bussy lives remembering in the back of our heads that today is a big day.....humm I don't really know!
Anywase, I'm supper stoked for this weekend, If you have time pray that I'd be able to have some sweet bonding times with my youth! And that I can land some good jumps! Were buildiong a kicker on saturday cuz Hemlock is actualy closed, but there's tons of snow and were gunna have fun n e ways, even if it means a LOT of hiking!
Heheh WAOHO!
God Bless!

Melissa, I was thinking the same thing with Britt. I know that Feb 27 is coming up and I happen to have that day off because of school. What are we supposed to do? I guess it is a day to be sad but also rejoice in the life that Britt lived. I don't know what else to say. so ya, have an awesome weekend with your youth and i will be praying for you. love ya...
