Tonight was a rather bittersweet night. It was our last youth night. Both I and the youth pastor are leaving within the week so there were lots of goodbyes.
We spent the night playing games and chatting about our weeks events. After we played for a bit we got together to pray for one another. It was really cool! We talked with the kids who were recently baptized and asked how they were doing. We then found out around 6 more of the youth are already starting baptism classes! There are amazing things happening in the lives of those youth! It was really neat to spend some time in pray and encouragement to end off our time together. We then finished off the evening with hot chocolate at Tim Horton's. Mmm :)
While it was sad to say goodbye to the kids I have spent so much time with in the last year and a half, I know God is at work in both their lives and my own. He has great things in store and I know this isn't a goodbye forever, its just a so long for now.
I have a total of 3 1/2 days left at work! It is amazing at how fast time is going. This weekend will be a relaxing weekend spent with the girls camping in Elkwater. I plan to turn off the cellphone and look forward to the great fellowship we can have this weekend. Our God is so good! I am thankful for this time to unwind before packing up once again and heading to MN next weekend. Life has been crazy and often stressful but things are coming together and I look forward to the future while at the same time cherishing the present.

Goodbyes will definitely be difficult... glad that last night brought good closure for you. And on a lighter note, I really like the new template!
