Making a Guest List?! O

Making a Guest List?! O_o

Please be prepared for stream of conscience: Guest Lists are hard. You wouldn't expect them to be. You're literally trying to decide who you want to be there with you on one of the most important days of your life. My first reaction? Everyone. Clearly. Let me just copy paste my 1300 Facebook friends onto a guest list and we're good. Oh wait, I have to send each of them an actual invitation? Stamps cost 50¢ a stamp? Hmm. Maybe we should cut that list down a bit. And wait, who is that guy? I think I met them once at a tournament six years ago... Ok. Nixing the Facebook list. Now, if a family member already told me they won't be able to come, do I send them a courtesy invitation anyways? You know, one of those, "I love you and I want to include you in my life even though I know you have a life of your own and can't come" things? Ugh. This is complicated. How many people can fit in the church again? And how many can we have at the reception? How many cookies does the average person eat? They're Jolene's. So probably five each because the cookies are that addicting. That's a lot of cookies. I'm hungry... Ok. I've limited it down to 500. Wait, what do you mean Nathan still has to add his people?? Ahh. I'm done. I'm going to go transcribe random YouTube videos instead.

And this is why my mother is frustrated with me.

Captivating Moments

Hi! Katrina here. Over the summer, we take a break from weekly program (in order to give our volunteer staff a break) and instead meet with our students for summer bible studies. This summer, a close friend and I are leading a study together based off of the book Captivating. We met for the first time last Thursday with seven girls attending and we've added a few more since then! This book has made significant impact in both Grace's and my life, and we're so excited to share it with these girls. It focuses on what it means to be a woman, which I know, sounds really cheesy, but I love the way the author approaches the topic. Rather than giving a list of ten things we need to do to become more feminine, or more beautiful, or more independent, or more loving, or more servant-hearted, the author looks at a woman's heart and how God originally designed it-- for life-giving relationship in glorious beauty. The author talks about the messages we receive as children, the good...

Check out Hillsdale! How does your city Compare?

Check out this cool picture comparison of Historic Hillsdale! Small towns often have such rich History, and they don't change much! One of my tasks right now is researching the geographic factors involved in planting a Crossroads Farm in another rural community. In that process, I stumbled across a website that has the data I need. I wanted to share it with you all. So here's a quick tip from the development process here at Crossroads! If you like data, comparing places to live, or you're just curious, you will love this. Check out this link . This Reading, the small town where Crossroads Farm is located. If you're really interested, try the compare button on the right of the page and type in your city. Let me know what you find!

The Crossroads Farm Adventure

What an amazing part of our life this ministry has become! Crossroads Farm is a rural youth outreach ministry that targets kids in Hillsdale County, kids that would otherwise not be reached. Katrina began volunteering at Crossroads Farm the fall of 2013, her first semester as a sophomore at Hillsdale College. Nathan joined her, after much prayer, the fall of the following year. They have worked together to pour into the lives of these kids, often coming home, as their classmates can attest, exhausted but excited at the relationships built every week.
