January!

January was a great month!

I took my teens to the March for Life in Washington DC.  We marched with over 650,000 other people against abortion.  The news media ignored most of it but we made our presence known that day.  Especially since most people marching were teenagers and young adults.  There is great hope in our Pro-Life generation!

This weekend I visited Justin in San Antonio.  We had fun just hanging around his campus.  I miss being on a meal plan and having so much food available to you without having to cook it.  I'm way too lazy.

Sunday night the 49ers broke my heart and lost their first Superbowl.  Now we are 5/6 for Superbowls.  But I am a fan through thick and thin!

Reflection:  I had an awesome time throughout the DC trip but I felt uneasy a lot.  I was tense at times and more worried than usual.  On the way home I reflected on it and I realized it was because it was not my trip. The previous youth minister started this and I was excited about it and kept it going.  But this was my first time taking the group somewhere that I did not plan myself (besides CHWC, but I was 2 weeks into the job anyway...) I felt tense because it wasn't my trip and I felt I didn't have enough control.  But God worked with me and he gave me an awesome group and a great set of volunteers.  I will continue to March each year on DC and hopefully I will be able to let God take control more often.

Lesson Learned: Justin Buschow likes to sing the song from Top Gun to my kitty.
