You know my goal is to do this blogging thing every few days or once a week. well so far im not that good yet but i hope to get there.
The picture: this is my new car and my nieces and nephew being silly hanging out of it. "Good times" as sam my 13 yr old niece always says. :)
God totally blessed my socks off with this car. It is exactly what i wished i could have but thought i could never afford it. God gave it to me at t apirce that i could afford and it is not 15 years old which was the critera for all the other cars i have had.
My scripture forthis week is
Deuteronomy 10:12-16
12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. 13 And you must always obey the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.
14 “Look, the highest heavens and the earth and everything in it all belong to the Lord your God. 15 Yet the Lord chose your ancestors as the objects of his love. And he chose you, their descendants, above all other nations, as is evident today. 16 Therefore, change your hearts[c] and stop being stubborn.

God does not require much of me, really. Considering all he has done for me. Just love, serve and obey him, I pray daily that i am that person. He really is a good God.
The beauty of summer is just around the corner and the drab, yuck winter is over. The weather here seems parallel to life around here at times. Winter bring hards times and times to trust GOd more. Then the spring and summer always renew my hope and bring me to a point of celebrating GOd's goodness.
I was reading this blog from a friend the other day and thought wow!! this is cool. It had a link to this youth ministry called matchbox minitries. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg7pVWi6Vn4 I was inspired to remember why I do what I do but also think of ways the ministry I work with daily can be the light of Jesus Christ Right here in in my town. May God's ministry in Ashtabula be effective for the cause of Christ.

hi sandy!!
so glad you liked the matchbox ministries video. we have a great photographer who takes hundreds of photos each week and we have actually seen through his photos the difference in the kids from the beginning of the school year (when MM started at our church) and now. The kids used to sit quietly with little interaction and now photos of the youth on wednesday nights (small group nights) show kids in small groups leaning in to talk to each other, poring over their Bibles to answer the discussion questions and ask questions about their own faith. God's really working in these teens and in teens around the world. (woo hoo!!)
nice new blog. I'll check it often (as I LIVE on my computer it seems)
