I felt so prayed for last night during our time presenting our testimonies. It was exhilarating! God was doing it all as we shared all that He has done and is doing in our lives!
Prior to sharing, I thought I was going to pass out because I was so nervous. My dad prayed for me. The church staff prayed for us behind closed doors. You all prayed and I really thought there was no way my heart would stop pounding and my shakes would subside. But, my brilliant husband had the idea for us to sit in comfortable chairs with handheld microphones rather than standing at a podium! That allowed me to settle in and talk openly and freely without jitters! Thanks to all who lifted us up in prayer!
I feel so humbled to be a part of the ministry of Young Life! If any of you are interested in supporting us or would like to receive our newsletters via email. Leave a comment and click the button on the comment box that allows us to email each other!
Now Nick and I are headed to the ASC (All Staff Conference) in Orlando, FL. My dear Mother will be watching our girls this week....if you'd like to pray for her! I'll be in touch after our conference.

I'm so glad it went well. What a smart idea (the chairs)! I have to come up with ways to combat nervousness in public speaking - I am always sooo nervous before, and then as I get started I am okay. Praise the Lord that you and your husband have a testimony to give of what God is doing and that He is blessing your ministry.
The YL-er I supported was Vince Miller. He is now in MN, Director of Twin City Intervarsity.
I get some of my background templates at pyzam.com. I think I got my current one off finalsense.com. You can do a google search for "free blogspot templates", but the only good sites I've really found are the two I mentioned. The most important thing is to find XML template. If you need help, I can help you.
Also, for a VERY minimal fee, a friend of mine can do a custom background and header for you. She uses scrapbook style and can put your pics in it. I had one of hers for awhile, too. I just like to change it every couple of months. You can see hers at: http://jennisajoy.blogspot.com
Some friends of mine will also be in Orlando at the Young Life conference. Mark and Tricia Krimm...Mark is the director in this area for YL. Hope you all have a blast, and glad to hear about Sunday night. Yippee! Kudos to hubby for thinking of the chairs :)
