Life Thoughts
Long time no see! (There should be a cooler phrase for that…) It has been a hot minute since I’ve shown my words around here, so I thought I’d drop in and do a bit of a life update interspersed with some of my thoughts. What have I been up to? It has been about three years since I posted anything. During that period of time, a lot has happened. A global pandemic, many transitions, graduating high-school, two years of online school, many personal struggles, many small victories, and lots of growth. I’ve been thinking about the fact that people all grow up at their own pace. As humans, we…

Creating a Warm Atmosphere for a Youth Group Room
Hey again! Hope you’re having an awesome day. Today I’ve been thinking about my youth group. Every week for about two years I’ve been working with a group of pre-teen and teen girls in my church. I was thinking on how I’ve managed to create a warm, open, and fun atmosphere, even though there is only a group of ten girls. (Maybe even less…) It can be so tough to work with teens since one moment they are full of fun and the next they’re just in the “I-don’t-care-mood”.
