I'm Back!

Sorry for my delay in post. I haven't had much energy lately. I'm waiting for that burst of energy everyone keeps telling me you get in your 2nd trimester. For now Mr. Energy is no where to be found. I keep thinking that I need to take full advantage of all the naps and lying around because each will be hard to come by in a few more months.

Anyways, I'm 14 weeks now and Matt and I went to the doctor this past Thursday to hear the baby's heart beat for the first time. I can't even explain how incredibly awesome it was to hear our child's heartbeat. It made it so much more real to me. It was crazy hearing my own slow heartbeat and then seconds later hearing another heartbeat much faster than mine coming from inside me. After our visit I kept thinking, how can people not believe in God? For me it seems so easy, let's take every unbeliever into an OBGYN and let them hear a baby's heart beat and see an ultrasound. That would work right? People would surly come to Christ right there in the doctor's office. If only it was that easy.

This summer I've truly been challenged by our amazing teenagers. One word to describe the youth this summer would be "servants." This hasn't been a one week camp summer. We have many of our youth still serving at certain camp sites and other youth looking for more opportunities to serve. I'm so proud!!! With that being said, I now want to find different capacities to reach out and love people. This summer has made me look at situations differently to see what ways I can love others. I'm so excited to see what else our youth will challenge us as youth workers with next.

Now that I got all the mushy gushy stuff out, here is a picture of my small baby bump. You might have to squint.
