change of season... change of pace...

Well it seems that winter is forcing its way in on us. Just the other day God sent a white blanket to cover the ground and saturate the trees with beauty. Taco, Sarah, myself, and the Cline girls (Marla, Rose Mary, & Lily) enjoyed the afternoon playing, sledding, and slipping in the snow. Within a few hours we were freezing from the wet snow. So we headed inside for some good'ol hot chocolate! Later that night we had the little Cline girls over to pretend to be Cinderella's and help us clean our house for our loft inspection today from Matt. Sarah, Taco, and I all went back to the Clines for pizza and ice cream where we shared many laughs (especially Sarah) about random things like nose hair trimmers=) By the end of the evening at the Clines, Taco had his fro hawk done up all nice (compliments of Rose Mary & Marla). Now when I say,"done up all nice", I mean Rose Mary went to town by placing as many hair ties, clips, and bows, as she had in hand and Marla dyed his hair hot pink (don't worry it was temp dye!!). We ended up staying up till midnight finishing up our house cleaning so that we could win the competition!

This past weekend I had the privilege to be TNT host! My TNTers were... Kirby, Spike, Katie, Morgan, & Emma (Emma only stayed for b-fast because she home work). I had an awesome time working along side each one of them=) It was amazing just getting to spend time with them and learn about their lives and talk about their trials through life, joyful times, and relationship with the Lord. I enjoyed our time during devo's sharing about how we can/should bring God glory in everything we do (Col. 3:17) and What prayer and worship is and why we pray to God and worship Him. The 2nd devo on prayer and worship was actually an audio recorded dialogue that all of us interns put together for RVR's full time staff group devo's this morning. Speaking of devo's this morning, it was an awesome time of reflecting on our heavenly father and just turning off all the distractions around us and giving the Lord our full attention. The mood of the room was set by dimmed lights and burning candles in the shape of the cross. We all listened to the voice recording with Bible verses in the back round, sang praise songs together and ended by coming together with clasped hands in prayer to our Father.

A few work projects we have been working on in the last couple weeks was painting the filly cabin/winterizing it, doing a photo shoot for our new internship brocure and web site page, and typing up/printing out a book of group inititives.

Since the fall season has come and gone we are now moving into our winter months, which means more work projects, indoor classes, and colder days. It's sad to see fall go, but we are all excited to have a change of pace with more academic learning; which means being indoors when its freezeing!
