Hi Ho, Hi Ho, its on the river retreat I go...

I am so excited! I leave Sunday morning with 'my girls' on our last outing as Jr. High students at Grace Fellowship. Actually the guys going into the Sr. High program are going too.

We are going on a true roughing canoe trip! I got new Keene shoes! I will be hitting up Target tomorrow for sunscreen, bugspray, batteries and ziplocks. This group is such a great group of kids, I know I am going to have a blast. It will be so wonderful to be out in God's glorious creation seeing with this group and without most of the modern age 'trappings'.

This is also my last year officially with my girls. I am stepping back as they head into Sr. High. It is hard to think about that, but I know I will get to see them all regularly! I am taking next year off from any formal kid ministries, but will be back at it when G-guy hits the Jr. High (if they need me).
