The days & months seam to get away & I never seem to remeber to up date what there is of our little page.
Things are going well. God is truly moving in our family! Scott & I have been asked to become our church's Jr. High Youth Pastors. All though it's scary we know this is God's plan and has been his plan for a while now. I don't see it as the destination but we definitly know that he has brought us here "for such a time as this". But not knowing excatly what that means really takes more trust and faith that he will be growing and streaching us in fun and possibly painful ways. We have truly loved working with our wonderful youth for the last year and God has done some amazing things already! (Right: Here are some of our crazy high schoolers at one of our small groups this past summer.They are such cool kids!) We are truly excited to see what he's going to continue to do as we keep pressing into the journey that he has called us on.
Some of the ways he is already streaching us is in the area of dicipline. Dicipline in our finances exspesicaly! I know that's not nessisarly the most fun thing to talk about, but when you can start to see light at an end of a dark tunal, I think it's exciting!!! We have a very stricked budget in place that will hopefully help us to reach our goal in these next 2 years of becoming debt-free & hopefully purchasing our 1st home! (One of my big dreams!!! I can't wait!!)
Well, that's the latest so far. Love ya'all and will talk to you soon!

That is awesome!!! Congrats and good luck with the youth! As for the budget...good luck with that too! That will be so rewarding in the end!!!
I think that's fantastic - you two are so much fun I bet the youth just love you to pieces.
Good luck with all the goals. They can be a big ol' pain to get there, but it's so rewarding in the end. (I sound just like Rachel - I must be smart *wink*!)

Hi, this is Scott's cousin, Becca. I think I met you once at my cousin Jay's wedding. I am glad you guys are doing so well. It is nice to have a blog to read too, so that I can keep in better touch. Good luck with the youth! What a great thing to do! I am going to link you to my blog, if that is ok. Take care.
Welcome to the social you two! I'm so glad to see you have a blog. I'm constantly wishing we could be closer and keep up a little better, and blogs are such a great way to do that. You guys are great, and good job with those youth! My favorite church service was when Rachel and I were working with the youth. They're so energizing! Love ya guys!
