update on my life

Life is goin good.
I am out of school for winter break (thank goodness)
I've had so much time to work on alot of things- (church stuff) - i 've been a volunteer/leader for our youth for about 2 months or so now, i'm starting to realize that the guy thats kinda over me for it, doesnt really want to do any in depth lessons ... i love in depth lessons... so... my plan is to do some in depth Lesssons for the kids. my best friend, Emily, is also helping with the youth, so its been really great. she and i did a study on revelation (didnt go too well) so we're going to be doing more simple lessons. Sunday she did a lesson on helping others- in 2 weeks im doing a wednesday lesson on Prayer, then i also will have the wednesday after that to myself, so i'll have to figure something out for that... im excited about it all.- I am in the midst of getting our group together so we all can go to Planet wisdom ( a student conference) i loved going when i was a youth, and if anything i'll go myself. (lol) anyways- it was disheartening to see about 10 of the youth leave all at one time- one day just 10 of them (all friends) decided they werent going to wednesday youth- -we had 1 youth that night. we just played games, we didnt do a lesson. from then on we've had 3 youth come every wednesday- the pastors son, the lead youth leaders daughter and then another kid- so... just sad. but i've been reading and it said that it doesnt matter about numbers, as long as you have a healthy youth group. - so thats our focus right now, getting it to be healthy.... how?--- i have no clue. but I am praying on it.
lets see.... thats about it as far as church goes.
still looking for a job. -they're looking into getting me a job here, theres a few depts that need some sort of admin- i'd really prefer to just stay here where im at now.. i know everyone, i know what people do (for the most part) and everything.... we'll see tho.
