WOW...is really all I can think of when I think of this weekend....the energy, the giggles, the FOOD (I had no idea 6th grade girls ate sooooo much), the sodas, the boy crazy, the makeup(yes, they wear lots & lots of it!), the lost items, .....I could go on and one.....but with all of that out of the way, it was a great time! Pinelake families hosts junior high and high school kids for a weekend full of Jesus & Fun called 180 weekend. They arrive Friday night @ 7pm, with a leader may I add, and leave for most of the day on Saturday for worship, lunch, and service projects. They came back 'home' mid afternoon to "rest" up (ha, ha...no resting here) and to shower. Dinner and a concert in the worship center awaited them Saturday night. They left us this morning around 7:30am for the 8 o'clock service. It was an extemely busy weekend, with 3 kids parties to attend, taking Daddy to the airport , and attending Junior Miss for our babysitter, Kelly. (who by the way looked beautiful and is a winner in our book!) Anyway, we survived and we had a blast doing it! It made it all worth while when little Christina, a 6th grader, said, "I like coming to your house...no one yells here!" So sad....but I just pray they experienced Jesus this weekend and were blessed because we were!
David has headed off again....this time to Mexico for a mission trip. God gave me some precious words as he was leaving...Psalm 63...."I will hold you up with my right hand." I am praying that this week as I tackle single parenting. Please pray for safe travel for him and his team. Also, that the hearts of the Hidalgo village people will be tender to the word of God.

Such fun! We used to have those called Disciple Weekend, and I loved them! How awesome that you opened your home to these precious girls! :) I will be thinking of you and the kids while David is away. How wonderful that God is using his skills and talents for His good! And you will be blessed with many jewels in your heavenly crown for being his support while God uses him!
You had a busy weekend. That just warms my heart thinking of all of those girls in your loving and Godly home. What a wonderful experience for all of them and for you!! AND - for Mary Grace because she was obviously right in the middle of everything! Love her!!
Girl, you are one BRAVE soul! I know those sweet girls left your home with lighter hearts and a brighter picture of God's love. What a blessing you are.
I led a small group for the youth. I'm not sure who got more out of it...them or me! Sounds like fun!
