i must apologize for the lack of posting recently. i have not been a very good blogger. but, there is a very good reason...maybe you can forgive me? as most of you probably already know by now...i got a new job! i started this past monday as the student ministry assistant at new spring. that means i do all the administrative stuff for the youth programs. yes, it involves the youth ministry...yes, my title is student ministry assistant. i guess that makes me sound a little more professional and also old. (right hynes and anna?) but seriously, it is what's for awesome. totally an answer to prayer. i am so blessed. i could go on and on...but i'll stop there. just know that life is good. unfortunately (i guess), the new job means there is a good chance you won't be reading posts from me nearly as often. it's really nice to be busy...in an enjoyable way. busy doing things i love. things that help make ministry happen. so, on those days when you visit and there is nothing new -- take comfort in knowing that i am probably doing something that in some small way affects students' lives for eternity. that way, you can't truly be disappointed...right? i'm trying to think of other things to catch you up on...but i'm really not coming up with anything. ...except maybe the fact that friendships/relationships are always evolving in some way. you are either getting closer or growing farther apart...it's a natural part of life. friendships just go through seasons sometimes. i've always found that God knows who and what we need in our lives at certain times, even when we don't...and we usually don't.
