I have been really enjoying our Jr High girls group on Monday night. The girls have been very faithful in coming and I can tell that they really enjoy each other and enjoy being there. A few weeks ago, we were able to return to Miss Kristen's house for some horseback riding.

I always find Monday nights to be such a blessing. While I may have a set agenda on what needs to happen and what I think needs to be taught, they seem to always become engaged in conversation and questions which are relavent and very good. I've always believed that if questions are being asked (as long as they are about important things) it's good to take the time to answer them. If they ask the question- it's something they care about and will listen for the answer. We have covered so many great topics such as how God deals with sin, how to handle conflict at school (in a way that is pleasing to God), and different family issues. These girls are so great...please pray for them that they will grasp the love of God at a young age and give their lives to Him! They are already facing so many temptations and struggles. It's hard to not be overwhelmed with it and easy to doubt that God can give them strength to stand for Him. But I know He can and pray that we can be instruments of His grace in their lives.

We just ended a wild, but good night of kids club. As crazy as these kids are, and as much as they wear me out, I can't help but love them :o) Jennifer has been teaching Bible lessons in a chronical order so that the kids will be able to understand how the Bible all ties together. Tonight, we had them work on timelines starting with creation and going through Moses. I was impressed with how hard the kids worked on their drawings and am excited to display them for all to see.
