HAPPY SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY JUSTINE!

I just wanted to send a special shout out to Justine who is celebrating her 1st spiritual birthday today. Happy Birthday Justine!! I'm so proud of your commitment to the Lord and his people. I am so grateful for your partnership in the gospel. :D

Hey guys! sorry you haven't seen me around lately...I've been really sick and it apparently doesn't want to leave me even though I've been drinking medicine like no tmw haha...but pray for me! I really miss you guys a lot and hope to see you soon (:!

John 16:33 Memory Scripture Score

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." NIV

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” NLT
John 16:33

I hope the memory scripture was really alive during the days of the week that we could of been discouraged by satan. We could put our hope in God that we can overcome our weaknesses and be streghened by God to do the right thing. Amen!

I am really encouraged by most of you guys because I feel that everytime I grade the scores for the ms i notice that most of you guys are improving and actually studying harder. Keep it up family:)
So the maximum pts that could be earned is 29. Remember that every word counts as one point.
Enjoy!

Hey all!
For my first entry on our awesome teen ministry blog. I thought I'd follow Mike Wang's example by letting you know a little bit about me. I'm sure I will learn a lot about you and you about me now being apart of the same ministry, but now you have an opportunity know a little more about my life before the teens.
I traveled for a year after I graduated from college (University of California, Irvine... ZOT ZOT) and I kept a blog; a journal, of my journey.
Just a warning... I wrote A LOT and it's a year's worth of journaling.
Here it is:

Lady Pirate of the Year

Hi everyone!
So yesterday was my end of the year basketball banquet! It was a lot of fun being able to hang out with some of the girls from the team. But it was also ver encouraging to recieve recognition from my coach as I was awarded Lady Pirate of the Year for the 2nd time! This award is given to a player for their character and example. I was very encouraged by my coach =) he said that if he had a daughter that he would want her to be just like me! It was very nice and encouraging but i feel that I am who I am because of you guys. So in a way I just wanna say thank you guys for being a part of my life....and always being here for me...LoVe YoU guyz
