Would You Pray for Us?









Buffalo, Wyo.



I can't believe we leave tomorrow for our trip to Young Life's Washington Family Ranch-Creekside as the second group of  WyldLife Campers from Buffalo. Last year was not only the first year WFR-Creekside was opened, but it was also the first time Buffalo, Wyoming has ever sent campers to camp.  I took 5 middle schoolers to camp last year.

On Monday, June 25th
we will be leaving for WyldLife Camp at 5pm! We will be traveling from Buffalo to Billings, Montana where we will meet up with Young Life of Billings, along with Big Sky, Montana and Cody, Wyoming  to share a bus to Antelope, Oregon. 

Would you please remember to pray for us everyday?  We would love to be soaked in your prayers as we get soaked at camp. We return Sunday, July 1st.

Here is how you can pray for us and our other friends attending WFR-Creekside:
 
For safe travels
For the leaders to have energy and patience
For students to encounter Jesus at a deeper level than before, or for the first time
 
In Young Life our hope is that students will move closer to God.  Some students are indifferent toward Him, pray that they would become curious.  Pray that curious kids would become searchers.  Pray that searchers would experience Him.  And pray that kids who know Christ, would become more devoted to Him.
 
Here are the names from Buffalo you can be praying for:

Addie
Kiley
Kinzee
Kimie
Kyra

Lexy

These campers have been doing fundraisers and have raised their way to camp, but more is always needed for camp next year and throughout the year for Young Life to make a difference in our community.

We would welcome and appreciate the gift.
However, most importantly is your gift of prayer.

What an interesting summer I have already had and still more is planned for me.  However, this week the enemy tried to hit me pretty hard, not only with matters of the heart and my running goal of couch to 5K, But, Friday I found out that they sold the house I have been renting. I was suppose to get some kind of notice of when there was even an offer and then 60 days when it did sell. However, the new owners would like me out by August 1st, but were really nice and will work with me especially when I shared the only problem is I leave tomorrow and with my other plans (visit friends in Powell, WY; Fort Collins and Denver, CO, along with joining a Youth Group from Michigan at Noah's Ark Adventures in Buena Vista, CO) am pretty much gone the next 3 weeks, home about 2 weeks and  then on Young Life assignment for 3 1/2 weeks back at WFR-Creekside to finish out the summer.

Praise God though, within less than a day I found a new place to live, and that is an amazing God story itself. But, now have to pack, move and settle in to new place in the less than 2 weeks I'll be home. Maybe miraculously my house can pack itself up between July 3-27 if I leave the boxes out while I'm gone. Wishful thinking.... I KNOW all will work out God is so good, but the enemy wouldn't be hitting so hard if something Amazing wasn't about to happen in lives over the next weeks
!!

A group from my church will be down in Casper, Wyoming at the same time we our at camp serving with World Changers and could use prayer. Also, if you could pray about a job for me, as I don't have one for the fall yet.  And for Murray because the next couple of months are going to be pretty hard on my dog.

I look forward to what God will do during "the best week of our lives" at WyldLife WFR-Creekside!
Thank you for joining in our Young Life Buffalo story!
We can't wait to share ALL that God does!

Refreshing...

Wow, just so refreshing to finally have a man say,  "Want to tell you that in the past week I've been communicating strongly with another match and thus my activity on here will probably focus solely on her. Though we are not getting married tomorrow that it's not fair to you if I can't give you my full attention and interest." This is something that hasn't happened in years in my life that is having someone give a reason why.... and MOST recently I've attempted to trust in the process once again yet, I've found that they just vanish..... Rejection after they say hey I'd like to get to know you, but before they actually do!!!

Don't they realize that, hey can I call you? can I come your way sometime and take you to dinner? I really want to get to know you better? Here's my personal email address because I'm closing my account, if you would love to still communicate? I'd visit if you did ;visited me first? etc..... BUT, then just disappear NO REASON, NO EXPLANATIONS.... just vanish, or maybe call or email every two or three weeks..... Seriously, feels like rejection and.... whatever other thought the enemy could put into you mind and heart.....

So just really really refreshing to meet a stand up guy.... One who didn't just disappear after starting to pursue..... But, was honest, open, and up front.... Just really refreshing and felt I had to share.... If I've made any sense at all. Thanks to this man!!

Much needed when I was starting to believe that the only really great guys out there are my friends who are already married to incredible women!!!!

No worries, I know I need to wait for the prince God has for me, because as His daughter and princess HE says:

My Daughter,
No man can ever claim you unless he claims you from Me. I reserved a man for you who has My heart and loves Me even more than he will love you. Soon you will know him, I have the perfect time.
You, my princess, are worth loving and deserve a prince.
~Your Heavenly Father

Though if I was honest I would tell you that I'm starting to think my prince isn't out there and will never find me.... BUT, I haven't forgotten that I am WORTH LOVING AND DESERVE A PRINCE!! Just more acceptance that I may remain single until the day I meet my true Prince face to face.... Think, I need others to Believe and Pray for me... However, I will NEVER stop Waiting Expectantly with Hopeful Trust!!
