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 care..

This school needs Jesus and he calls me and fellow Christians in this school to show them that but it's so hard.. They make me nervous I'm scared for my life sometimes and I feel like they won't even listen but I can't get discouraged because I know God can move in this school and make it so much better than I ever could..

So as you read this.. If there are people in your life or even a whole school that needs love.. Encouragement.. Or even Jesus do not be discouraged because even though they go through it now God can move mountains and make any situation better...

Lord help me!

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...

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...
