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 ;)

Is it true...

Sitting in my students art class today we had a project to draw our favorite animal and tell why we chose the animal that we did.. As I sat and watched my students draw... some drew dogs.. A bear.. A giraffe and so on when I overheard what one of the other kids was drawing in the class.. He started off drawing a snake and explaining that he is sneaky and that's why he drew the snake and when he was told that it was a contest in a way he decided to draw another animal that he knew would win because of what it represented and everyone would choose it because of that and that was the Jesus fish.. When he started talking about how he wanted to draw it because everyone cant not choose the Jesus fish because if they didn't choose it then Jesus would be mad and all this other stuff it made me start to think... The kid said all of this in a joking matter and made sure everyone around him was laughing some way because he wanted to sound really cool.. Of course he didn't win beca...

Tip #9 for being a youth pastor wife!

" In His great mercy he has given us new birth into living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade..." - 1 Peter 1:3 So many times in my life and even right now in my life I can feel at my lowest and feel like I am fading with life and it's brought on difficulties. In life we always have days, weeks and sometimes even months when we feel at our lowest and feel like it will never get better. My day is like that today when everything gets under your skin and you get so irritable. Being at work is something I love but days like today when the classroom is crazy, students are upset and crying, matientence people are fixing things, people over the loud speaker and everyone around you talking louder then the person next to you so you can be heard and you feel like your body is going to explode! As I sit there at my desk I couldn't do anything but pull my Bible out and just get into His word an...
