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.
