We volunteered for a Juvy retreat this month. Though we both agree that Juvy is one of our favorite places to be, we were both a bit hesitant seeing this was the first retreat we would be doing since having James. What if there was an emergency? What if he won't sleep for the babysitters? What if he pulls that stunt where he won't stop crying until I get there? I was apprehensive to commit, to say the least. But we did and James was an angel. Thank you, Lord!
Also in January, Brian and I committed to a Life Teen program at our church. We are on the core team and will be leading worship 3 Sundays out of the month. It is a place for the teens to come after church and eat, fellowship, hear the Word, pray, and worship. Please pray us all! There is an incredible hunger for Jesus. We are so blessed to be a part of this.

As we step, or have stepped, into February, Brian and I have been discussing the things the Lord has put on our hearts for 2012. The month of January was a time of really getting comfortable with ministry outside of taking care of our new baby. As James grows, we are taking steps of faith in the direction of more ministry. And as we do, parenting seems to fall into place. We have really been praying about how much, when, and where to give. This is really an exciting time. We have been longing for this and are so thankful!
