30 days of Thanks: Day 3 & 4

Day 3:

I am thankful for STRIVE and our FUSE students and leaders. 

STRIVE was such a success, and we were able to give so much back to the Las Vegas community.
339 junior high students and leaders served all across the Las Vegas Valley.
From 
painting curbs 
sorting books
pulling weeds/picking up garbage 
to  
cleaning entire class rooms from head to toe
helping out at the Las Vegas Rescue Mission and the Ronald McDonald house
and so much more.
There wasn't anything we didn't do.
How cool is that?! 

I'm also super thankful for the wonderful team and staff I am blessed to be a part of at Central Christian Church.

All of the long, long hours that our team put in with:

phone calls

e-mails

texts

flyers

excel sheets

meetings

late nights

site visits

bumps in the road

and

more meetings
it ALL paid off.

I can not begin to describe the joy that it brings me to see the images pouring in from our STRIVE work day and seeing all the students and leaders working so hard, and doing it with such a HUGE smile across their face.

It is truly inspiring to see such selfless acts of service.

I am so so so proud to be a part of such a wonderful team and ministry.

Day 4:

I am thankful for maple bars and red bull editions the day after STRIVE.

30 days of Thanks: Day 1 & 2

Well hello!

Who can believe that it is already November?!

November 2nd to be exact.

Two days in to November already. Cray Cray!

So with that being said I wanted to jump on the "30 days of Thanks" train that a lot of my blogger friends are doing.

Obviously I missed day one. But that's okay, I like to play by my own rules.

So with that I shall incorporate Day 1 & 2 into this fancy little post.

Day 1:

I am thankful for my absolutely wonderful friends that God has blessed me with in my life.

I am surrounded by such supportive individuals who love me and care for me in a way I have never experienced with past friendships.

My friends are all so genuine and so God centered.

I love that I get to work a long side them doing God's work and I get to simply do life with them.

From small group, to FUSE groups, to weekend services, to celebrating holidays with them and weekend trips away from Vegas.

I am just simply blessed and so incredibly thankful for each and every one of them.

<3

 

Day 2:

I am thankful that our event STRIVE is this Saturday.

We have been working almost every. single. day. on this event for the past 7 months and now it is tomorrow! It is so awesome seeing all the hard work we have all put in to this event.

Hours and hours of e-mails, phone calls, excel sheets, site visits, meetings, etc. have been put into this event. 

STRIVE is going to be the LARGEST student community out reach that has EVER happened in Las Vegas and I am incredibly proud and blessed to be a part of it.

With that being said since STRIVE is over after Saturday, that means I will have some what a normal schedule again AND the best best best part (which is what I am thankful for) we get to have Tuesday off. 

So instead of going in and working on STRIVE stuff like normal, I will be at home sleeping and relaxing with my sweet pup...oh and of course going and VOTING.

So, plain and simple, I am thankful to have Tuesday, November 6th off of work.

I will finally get a day of rest.

Amen.
