i decided a while ago that i wanted to listen to every song on my itunes at least once.
i've actually started working on that.
i realised that i have a lot of crappy music. (i have a lot of good music too, but three albums of the backstreet boys, seriously? i guess thats how you know i was super cool in middle school)


i've been so frusterated recently with where i'm at with relationships with kids. but ive been encouraged by two things.
1. remembering that God gives us enough encouragement to keep us in ministry but enough discouragement to remind us whose ministry it is.
2. the fact that God gives us all the grace in the world, sometimes its ok to give ourselves a little.


my english has gotten so much worse living outside of america, especially on days like today when all the interaction ive had has been in german...like i was struggling to write that.
