I think some catching up is in order. Sara has been very busy adjusting to her new life in South Africa (she's been living there for over six months now! Craziness!) and school has been taking up much of her time. I'll let her do a catching up post of her own soon, though.
It seems as if the crazy business never stops for me. I had this thought that after I had finished driver's ed (yep, I went through that while I was away) life would slow down some but I've been done since November and it really hasn't. At the moment, my life consists of school, church, music, and occasionally friends. I have started leading worship for my church youth group (singing) with my friend Craig (who plays and arranges awesome stuff on the keyboard) and that's probably been the most life-changing thing that's happened lately. At first, I was very reluctant to doing it...I'm not a fan of singing in front of people...but we both really feel like this is the direction God is taking us right now. Both for us as individuals and for the whole youth group. Before Craig and I started leading, a few people have attempted starting praise and worship but nothing ever worked for very long. The time is definitely now.
I have also been attending a bible study that I very much enjoy. Right now we're going through a book together called Becoming a Woman of Prayer by Cynthia Heald. I highly recommend it.
Whelp, I should probably go now. But I will leave with a promise of more blog posts in the near future.
