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 ;)

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 #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...
