Tip # 15 on being a youth pastor's wife!

Fun fact of Joel and I:  In the five years we have been together we have never rode on a plane together..weird... but as for the tip... You will always run into youth that know what they are doing in their relationship with Christ and have the right mind set of what it is all about..for example.. One afternoon we were just hanging out at the church just playing us some Settlers... by the way our students love the game so far which makes me supper dupper excited! any who.. we were just playing some games and when we got done a lot of them went off and went to do some worship practice but one youth stayed back. This youth usually stays to them self but today we just really connected..I left him for a little while and when I came back I saw the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time.  He had taken the cross that we have in our room and laid it on the ground and then without anyone in the room with him he took his very own time and worshiped God b...

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.

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....

Here goes..

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.
