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 ;)

Tip #15 for being a youth pastors wife

Well it's official.. Along with being a wife I have now become a mom.... Wow let me just sit here and let that soak in..it hasn't yet but I know that it will! I am a mom...someone that will claim me has his support and care giver until he is on his own.. a mom...   Arie Malachi Guinen   Born April 15, 2013 @ 11:45 pm!   7lbs, 5oz 20 inches long!!   This little boy has stolen my heart. He came into this world after 17 1/2 hours of the labor of love :) I was doing great and going through  the labor part of it when contractions had started, after my water had broke and after 12 long hours I gave in a took some pain medicine. Pain medicine that I will tell you I will never take again in my life. They need to change the name to " this will not help your pain at all but make you feel crazy and not remember a lot of what's going on in the room around you" medicine. As the medicine wore off, the nurses came in to tell me that I had stopped...

Tip #33 on being a youth pastors wife...

The biggest lie.. In my devotion time today, I was watching a video and the speaker had mentioned a verse from the Bible that really hit home for me.. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Revelation 3:1b He asked the question in his message..   What are you in love with right now.. in a different way..   What is the biggest lie in your life right now.. We see the word LOVE sometimes and think how can being in LOVE with something be so wrong because LOVE is so good but when you really think about it when you are in LOVE with something that is not of Christ it is not good.. When he asked what is the biggest lie in your life right now..many things came to my mind. One thing that really stood out to me was the idea of the biggest lie. He said it in a way that meant what were you hiding in your life that you want no one to know about or that you want revealed even to yourself. That's not a bad question but the way...

Tip #345 of being a youth pastors wife!

You will get your heart broken! Working in this high school everyday my heart breaks for these students. It's funny once your heart goes towards youth every time you see youth you tend to cling to them! Walking these halls and seeing their faces.. Their relationships.. Their desperate call for attention and their attitudes it kills me because I know they could have so much more! Being in high school isn't easy and I understand that but don't they know there is so much more! Everyday I go out of our classroom and join up with another classroom that one of my students goes to and I sit here and just watch these students.. I watch and see myself in these students and think about the things I did in high school and how I learned from it so much but wish I could just tell them there is so much more.. I hear their conversations and it makes me want to leave the room because I cant even think about the stuff their doing.. I see the way they act and I see the way they dot car...
