Upcoming adventures.

I thought a little update would do us all some good...even us...to understand and grasp what is coming in the remaining part of 2006. We want to make the most of every opportunity and live for things eternal. We are "booked" for the next few weekends, and am soooo excited to have some incredible visitors coming to visit.
Upcoming...
Grandma's 80th- whoo hoo! My beloved G-ma is turning 80, and so of course we are throwing a celebration. My family is famous for throwing a good bash. We love dressing up, and so it's a decade party. Clint and I are going as the 40's or cowfolk. My parents, the creative ones, are going as babies. How funny is that! Congrats G-ma, you have lived an incredible life and influenced so many.
Then the beginning of Nov we head up to the WA for a King's Kids conference. We will probably be the youngest there...but it will be a good chance to connect with others with the same heart. ALSO big bonus is getting to visit - a much needed visit- some of my family. Clint has never even met one whole family on my dad's side. And we love seattle. It will be our first time there as a married couple...and I think it's a pretty romantic city. And it smells like rain.
Once we get home, Mark, Renee and Adah are coming for a visit. We are excited. By then we will be moved into our new home. Trailer 7. We will all fit. Praise the Lord. We will get to explore Hollywood, LA, Santa Monica, Pasadena and watch Adah be cute, loveable and adorable.
Then we will have 2 more visitors- one who came last year and a new friend. They will come to have fun with us, rest and renew at YWAM, and experience our ministry here.

I'm sure in between all of these things we will be busy with YWAM, basketball games-watching Clint coach!!! and being married and in love.
We are getting ready for spring break. I know it is far away- but we have a few teams coming and our weeks are filling up. We will take them on NIKO's, to Catalina and LA for a week to know more about GOD and themselves, to serve and to experience and be changed.

This is an incredibly long post- but I feel better and can let all of this go, and know that God has a big plan and is in control. PS- if you have itunes you should check out mosaic/erwin mcmanus. His last series has opened up my heart and head to some of "life's toughest questions" and it is amazing.
