Couple Good blogs to check out...

So, I'm running through some of the blogs that I have subscribed to and I noticed there are some that I would love for you to visit and why you should:

Derry Prenkert: Right now, Derry is working through all of the What If's that took place at camp. You should head over there right now and check them out...

Dan Weiss: Dan has recently been blogging on his Summer Camp experience. He is an awesome guy, who I am totally stoked to see be moved by God. He is going to be an awesome small group leader! Totally stoked! Check Him out...

Jeff Simpson: This guy has such a heart for people and it is awesome. What is even better is that he is always wrestling with God on how to be more like Him and how to be closer to Him. He has a great post up right now about the tough time that he had to go through at Summer Camp.

Senior High TAWG Blog: The Senior High of NMC Student Ministries has entered into the world of building a community online. This blog is the place to enter comments about our TAWG journal. Check out what some students have already written and maybe leave an encouraging note!

Terry Linhart: Terry is Dean at Bethel College (IN) of Religion and Philosophy. He is also an up and coming writer that is going to change the landscape of leadership modes and models in the near future. Plus he is a great mentor and person that you can just use great wisdom from!

Friday Fun

So some things to post on the old blog and make it a somewhat productive day before I head out for the weekend...

This video ran across one of the Tweets that I received from Twitter this week and I wanted to share! I loved it! And so should you... so here it is:



But that's not all! I have had a crazy week that wasn't going to be so busy, but it was filled with much reading, lots of connecting with students, discovering a new genre of music that I really like, and I was reminded of many things throughout this process. Of those things, I am reminded how good God is to me even when I don't deserve it. I am blessed to be used by Him and I have been reminded this week that I need to surrender each day to Him in order to continually be blessed by Him and be used by Him. He honors those that are obedient to Him and I continually pray that I can be obedient in the little things so that He can use me in the Big things; whenever they come around.

So this weekend, I plan to relax and get ready to flex my creative muscle as best as possible as we begin to plan for the upcoming year. I'm really actually stoked about this planning retreat! I am excited to see where God leads our team as we follow God in what He is planning to do with this ministry! "To God be the Glory for Great Things He has done!" And He will do!

P.S. I have some posts going up this weekend and one that was a sucker punch to me after I finished my latest book! Get excited!!!
