Camp Time Babyyyyy

Well, I’m off to camp. And you know how I feel about camp.

Prayers that God will do big things would be greatly appreciated!
And also, prayers that we all survive? Because it has no A/C and we’re in Mississippi.
So there’s that.

Be back in a jiffy.

Typical Summer Night in Youth Ministry

Last night I attended Cinderella, a community theatre production starring one of my own little youth-group children, Katie. She was one of the evil stepsisters, guess which one she is:

 

She was hilarious, hamming it up constantly and flashing the audience her famous double-chin.

Afterwards, we went to The Dip for milkshakes and BBQ nachos (a Memphis staple).

These crazy girls have made my summer internship one that will not be forgotten.

 

Really, this is what most of my summer nights have been like. I have had an incredible summer!

I Bought (a ticket to) a Zoo

I'm a sucker for the zoo. Throw in an awesome youth group and I am so there it's insane.

It was hot. Hot, hot. Standing in the shade of trees didn't even offer relief. But it was worth the sweat--I had incredible company.

We walked all around the Memphis Zoo, fanning ourselves with our maps and eating a picnic lunch under the trees. It smelled like poop.

I took a picture of the only animal that matters at the zoo, the panda bear! Look at the cutie eating his bamboo. His name is Lala, which means Happy Happy.

It was such a wonderful day!

What is your favorite animal at the zoo?

First Week on the Job!

Where have you been?! Nice to see you again.

Oh just kidding, I know it’s me that has been MIA this week.

Actually, I probably should go down in the Worst Bloggers of 2012 book because I haven’t been here nearly enough. ANYWAY you love me and I love you so we’re all in this together, right?

This post had a point…

The internship is rocking my socks off. It is better than I could have imagined. I love being in ministry!

I spend my mornings using my creative thinking to design activities and events to get the teens excited about Jesus, and then I spend my afternoons/evenings hanging out with them! Let me just say, I’m so happy that Southaven has mexican food and frozen yogurt. That’s all this girl needs, really.

And since we’re so close to Memphis, we had to go to a Memphis Redbird’s baseball game (where I held that baby—Sawyer—on my lap the entire time) and visit Gibson’s Donuts:

This is going to be an incredible summer!

Prayers Please!

I’m nervous and excited to say that tomorrow I am moving
to Mississippi for the summer!

I will be serving as an intern at a church.

To send me off, I went out for ice cream with these lovely ladies that are in
the youth group at my home congregation. I will miss them dearly.

Please pray that God will be glorified this summer!
