my head is spinning, and my hot bath helped a little... but now it's time for me to slow down, get ready for bed, and then try again tomorrow.

so... i'm not feeling much like a youth pastor yet... just a little overwhelmed! i can't wait to meet these teens! God, prepare me, make me ready.

ohhh yeah i forgot all about that book! thanks for reminding me!!!

we should do a something like that. i check out that thing tj and steve do, its pretty cool,so i'd be interested, it'd be neat-o. there is also ymwomen.com a youth specailties thinger, which has some good stuff.

my church is non denom, which rocks, and i guess i am the planner at the moment...

i am trying to plan kick off for oct, but am looking for an awesome venue, one of the beauties of the church plant thing is i have a lot of freedom and don't have the putting out fires of cliques etc, but i have other issues like having 2 teens, and getting them motivated. so yeah. and even longer reply ;)
love ya girl.

oh ymwomen.com is amazing! i love it. one of my favorite books is "help, i'm a woman in youth ministry". definitely check that book out, that cd youth thing is AWESOME you can list kids websites (myspace, etc.) cell numbers, if they come regularly, what they like to do, if they're in small groups... everything, even stuff about your volunteers! let me know if you set up a blogger site or whatnot, this could be AWESOME! i love hearing things about women, especially our age, in youth ministry. sweet to hear about your kickoff- you do get a lot of awesome choices for venues & stuff. i got my list of students, there are about 40 teens that come to church or who have parents who do... so we'll see what kind of turnout i have! crazy times!

here goes with another long reply... haha.
love ya, x.
