Summer Time

By
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5
Today's the first day for our summer residents! God is continuing to provide. Last night was the last normal program night of the year, marking our transition into summer mode.
As we prep and plan for the fall, the residents will be focused on summer trips and summer bible studies. I'm so excited to have Brenna and Olivia join the team! It is going to be so strange to not be the youngest staffers in the office.

Captivating Moments

By
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...

Making a Guest List?! O_o

By
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 d...

The Crossroads Farm Adventure

By
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.
