Youth Camp

Our youth camp was this week. It started Sunday and ended with a trip to Holiday World Tuesday.

I love love love working with the youth. Some say it keeps you young, I am not so sure about that. I feel my age more around them than any other time :)
No matter how many times people say I could pass for one of the youth, after just a few hours with them, my body quickly reminds me that I am NOT that age. Not even close :)

I can't express the burden that I have on my heart for these kids. When I am with them I have such a content feeling, knowing that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. And yet at the same time I have such a yearning to be doing more with them. It definitely isn't an easy ministry but it's where my heart is.

Welcome Violet Corinne

My little niece was born six weeks early on July 17. My sister-in-law had very high toxic readings and they had to induce her.

Abby and Violet are both doing great right now. As of yesterday she is out of her incubator, and her feeding tube is out. They have her in a little bassinet, she still has her monitors on and the iv in her foot, but the iv is not in use -- just there in case something happens and they need it.

We are so proud of how well she is doing!!

Congrats Abby, Eddie, Savannah and Tori!! She is beautiful and perfect in every way!
