My oldest daughter is super excited because she leaves at 6 pm with the senior high youth group (or most of them anyways) for Saratoga and the huge Youth for Christ retreat. (Excel) She will return on Monday afternoon. They will have study groups, small groups, workshops, devotions, praise and worship as a large group, teachings as a large group and time for some fellowship. There will be teens there from across the state of NY. Although it is a little pricey, she has earned most of the money for going and we consider it a huge blessing that the head leader from Youth for Christ attends our church and is an active youth group leader there. Thank you Dave L. for your service! Thank you to Keesha, our youth group coordinator at Grace and to Rachael, the senior high youth group coordinator. Thank you to the other young men and women leaders as well. And....thank you Jaime and Brian for your service as well! And...congrats!! Jaime and Brian are getting married on Saturday! And they will continue to be small group (life::group) leaders at GF for the senior high teen girls/guys. Thank you God for these faithful, loving servants!
So.....my oldest will tell you her fave thing from this week was getting ready for this trip and getting her homework done so she could go!
My favorite things were:
Opening up an account through Facebook has been lots of fun. I opened one about a month ago to keep track of what my 15 year old daughter is up to. We have our accounts set for just friends. My husband set one up as well to connect with the junior high youth group leaders and teens he works with once a week at the church. It seems to be the way most teens communicate now. Well, besides texting on their cells. But for me, the fave thing about it is that I am back in touch with several Christian friends I went to college with at Roberts Wesleyan. What fun to see their family pics, chat with them online, catch up on our careers, husbands/wives, children, etc. It is so much fun! I still prefer blogging but.....facebook IS addictive.....just manage your time if you open an account!
And the last but not least favorite thing from this week has been the power of prayer. Please scroll down to see what the Lord has been doing in my friend Lynn's life........although things looked bleak on Thursday, the Lord provided a clear, direct answer to our prayers and although trials are still being thrown at her, she is still grabbing onto His robe and not letting go......and I love being able to pray for her and seeing how He is gonna use her trials for His Glory.
What about you? What are your fave things from this week?

I haven't seen that particular juice yet...I'll keep my eyes open. :)
Hope your girlie enjoys her weekend retreat. Years from now I'm sure she'll look back and remember the highlights.
Enjoy your weekend!
Great post. I enjoyed my little visit to your sweet blog
I have never seen that bible before but it sounds very good.
The retreat for your girl sounds like so much fun. Mine always get so much out of retreats like that and love to go. And good for her for earning her most of her registration.
If you didn't get your name on the linky, I'll put it up as soon as it shows it's face again on my post.
Great Fave Fives! I'm on facebook so I can keep up with my adult kids and the added benefit is reconnecting with a lot of other people!
Lol, I have that SoulCare Bible too... but it's buried. I'll have to dig it out! Thanks for the reminder. :~D
