Tip # 27 on being a youth pastors wife..

First off can I say it..I told you so!!! I told you I would be horrible at updating this thing and I have but I have good excuses ;)

Anyways..things have been really good around the Guinen household some hiccups here and there but nothing is to hard for our Lord! Can I get an Amen!

As for the tip of the day..here goes:

Always remember that sometimes your night will get interrupted (in a good way) with the text or phone call that you can't help but smile about. 

The other night Joel and I were having dinner and just a relaxing evening together. Our dinner was interrupted here and there for some texting myself and a youth were doing because she was simply amazing me and I had to tell her how proud of her I was and just to have that moment with her is one I couldn't pass up so our dinner was interrupted ( in a good way! ) 

After we finished dinner and were just in the living room relaxing watching tv and just doing our own little things the television pauses with a phone call from a youth asking Joel for this and that on Bible verses because they wanted to help a friend who was struggling. Because Joel keeps his phone up so loud I was able to get bits of pieces of the conversation of this youth just desperately wanting to help their friend and I couldn't help but smile. Although our evening was interrupted here and there for this and that I can say that those moments I will never forget and it makes me care less what we were doing at that point in time because I know that these youth are now going out and witnessing to their friends and that couldn't make my night of togetherness any better..

so remember that nights when you are just sitting at home relaxing can have some of the best interrupted moments of your youth ministry and I encourage you to never pass them up!

With blessings over here in the Guinen house... have a wonderful evening and probably 6 weeks until my next update ;)

and it begins. Starting a blog is terrifying to me. Things come to mind for fears such as                     -I wont be good at this.                     - No one will care                      - I wont know what to talk about                       - I'll never update But on the other hand, I am so excited because I am able to express so many different things.. so...here goes.

Tip #45 on being a youth pastors wife..

so I was right..I wasn't going to be very good at updating but I have come to learn that it will be a random whenever i learn a lesson/good point kinda post type thing.. so tip #45: Know now that you will sometimes spend evenings alone while the hubby gets to go to movies, cool parties and awesome other events to take time to be with the youth.  for example.. tonight I am in class till 10p and I get a text at 9:51p asking if Joel could go to the movies with a youth to see a movie that I have been wanting to see for quiet sometime..Joel being the man that he is takes time to ask me but he knows im going to say yes to the oppurtunity so he is already on the way with him to the movie..so cute! but as I sit here all by myself I think to myself how truly blessed I am to have a husband that will take time out of his time off..his sleep..his relaxiation time to go out and be with a youth just to gain a better relationship with him.. so now i have realized that I need to quit school....

The Graduation of High School was the start of it all!  coming into school only knowing one person..she made it so much easier for me!  as time went on our group of friends began to grow and the memories began!!!! Student Life!   Falling In Love with My Best Friend! Celebrating Weddings!! and as it all comes to a close..i will remember..
