I have been quite neglectful of the blog in recent weeks. Unfortunately school and my real life as a working mom have taken over most of my waking and, I am sure, sleeping hours. I like to spend as much time with the family as I can get in around the papers I have due and scheduled exams.
However, one of my favorite Apps at the moment is the My 365 photo calendar for iPhone. Just as it sounds, it is a daily photo calendar wherein you document your daily life one photo a day. Majority of my photos revolve around pics of the kid and dogs. The hubby gets really grumpy when I take photos of him. Also you can follow others who have the app and see their daily photos. I love looking at other peoples' photographic lives. So many emotions can be portrayed in a simple snapshot.

Weekend Retreat & Super Bowl Chicken
I realize this is Super Bowl weekend and men everywhere are glued to the tv. However, I am a girl and the part that excites me the most about the game is the commercials and my husband's smoked chicken. The hubs is who keeps me from surviving off a diet of chocolate cake, ice cream & nachos. My favorite commercial so far has to be the Chevy end of the world commercial & the VW dog commercial simply for the ending.
My weekend before Sunday belonged to a kids' retreat. 20 kids & 8 leaders spent a weekend getting back to the basics in our relationships with God. We discussed how to have a good devotional time, the different kinds of relationships we have w/ people in our lives and our relationships w/ God, then we discussed the Great Commission. I got the pleasure of leading one of the Bible Studies Saturday morning and then a 2 hour hike through the woods & trails. Other leaders with us led Bible Studies and praise time. Friday we had two teams of kids go on scavenger hunts where the clues led to a bonfire with smores. Several of those kids had never seen a real bonfire or hiked through trails in the woods. It was an amazing retreat that not only helped us focus on our relationship with our Almighty, but allowed us to get to know our kids in the ministry better and they got to know us as well. I am so incredibly blessed for God to have called me into children's ministry.
