My Random Life

  This season that I am in right now is the busiest season of DLA. I LOVE it!! We took finals, went on a summer retreat, had some fun late nights with the high school/junior high students, took part in a conference, had time to hang out an enjoy Colorado, and survived a fire evacuation. This Friday we are going on a rafting trip. I'm excited as it is my very first time rafting! :)

    Here are just a few pictures from my adventures.

We have 'family' groups in which we spend time together hanging out and serving in the city. This was our day at the park. We had some difficulties lighting our fire...whoops!!

This is what we do in our free time at school. ;-)

I lead a group of junior high girls in a Bible discussion on Wednesday nights. We had a fun day, but only a few of them were able to come.

Ruth and Ruth Ann :)

In May we had what is called the Youth Pastor Prayer Summit. Youth leaders from across the country come together to pray and worship God and be encouraged in their leadership. It was such a blessing to be able to serve these youth leaders!!

We had leaders representing all across the nation. :)

We spent our summer retreat in downtown Denver on 16th street. It is such a fun place to stay. Also, there are so many homeless people wandering the streets and other people that it is a great place to speak to people about Jesus.

Of course I would find the cupcake store. ;-)

 

While on our retreat we went to a Rockies game. They are about par with the Royals in their skill level. Nevertheless, it was fun watching the game!

It was raining on the walk back to our hotel, so Caleb found cover under a stranger's umbrella. ;)

I went out to lunch with a couple of the girls in junior high and our other leaders. Such fun!!

 I had a vacation weekend the beginning of June. I really wanted to hike the incline again one day, so I did. :) It was definitely a challenge, but worth the struggle!!

I like the warning of EXTREME trail. You got that right!

Long ways to go......

I made it. Success!!

 

 

On another day off I hiked Blodgett Peak with some dear friends.

Me, Marisela, and Rachelle

Rachelle and I spent an evening of our vacation time at 7 Falls here in Colorado Springs. It is a pretty waterfall to visit, if you want to spend money. My goal is to explore a water fall deep in the woods before I leave!! :)

Part of the climb up to the top. Lots of stairs!!

All 7 of the Falls.

My favorite - I love the name! ;-)

More vacation time.......sleepover and delicous ice cream with some good friends!!

Josh & John's = BEST ice cream in Colorado Springs

Every Wednesday night after DSM in the summer we have late nights, all with different themes. The last one was a luau themed evening with limbo, smoothies, and water dunking the pastors.
