It is August and in student ministry world that is a big deal here in the south, where schools begin August 4th. I have experienced my first full summer of children's ministry and it was a great summer. Although, I feel like I have been swimming for two straight months and holding my breath the entire time. Now I am breaking the surface and the first few breaths have been gasps. The thing about gasps are that at some point you must slow your breathing back to a normal rate or you will hyperventilate. So here I am trying to find routine again after a crazy summer excursion.
One other thing to know about August is that it a new beginnings month in ministry. Appropriate that we get more than one here at the church :) And with new beginnings comes lot of reflection. With reflection comes a desire to express one's self. Which makes me think of an option I had on a specific social networking site to list my emotion. Funny that I thought of my feelings much more often when I was assigning them to every update. So here is an update for everyone on my emotional state, because I know you are so intrigued to know:
Amber is excited to see the ways God is going to show up in, for, and around her this semester!
