Have you ever gotten to the end of your day and realized that you still had as much on your TO DO list as when you started your day? That was today. Well actually it might be most days-

VBS is getting closer and closer. And I am fearful it will be not my best. Today, I went in to the sancutary and I was setting there praying for God to renew my passion and renew my sense of purpose. Sometimes I get so bogged down with the "job" I forget the purpose. Not on purpose, I just have to be reminded of why I do what I do.

I have really been thinking alot about what it means to be relevant in today's church. I don't want to be stuck in the way things have always been done that I can't see how things need to be done today to reach people. Jay our new youth pastor gave me a book to read. It is called The Relevant Church. I am excited to read it and educate myself on what today's church looks like.

I guess overall I am a work in progress. Thankfully God has not given up on me yet. He is working with me and through me.

I took some pictures of me and the kids tonight. They turned out pretty good. I will try to post some of them tomorrow. I have to say I am so proud of them. Sunday was graduation Sunday for my two older ones who are moving up from the kids dept to the youth. There teacher for Foundations of Faith ( our wonderful Pastors' wife Kathy Kinnan) gave them each a verse for the gift she saw in them. Brooklyn's was insightfulness, and Jordan's was service. I tried not to cry- for we were standing in front of the whole church but later when I had a moment by myself. I cried. I just can't believe how big they are.

I hope you all have a great night of rest~
