Well, it is officially November - unofficially, officially the month of thanks. I know that there are many things that I am thankful for: God, my family, food, friends, my church, freedom, food, seasons, fire (no I am not a pyro), mountains, chocolate, food, etc. (I’m sensing a pattern here with my love and thankfulness for food...) There are not enough hours in the day for me to get everything I need to get done and write a blog post each day for something I am thankful for. So I will try to summarize a few of the big things that I am grateful for. So let us begin!
During my senior year of high school I always wanted to be a part of the group of young singles in my church who did administrative tasks to serve the youth ministry - commonly known as the Youth Admin Team. Many of my close friends were on this team and since I was spending my first two years at the nearby community college, staying close to home, and also wanted to serve in some capacity within the church I thought this would be a good place to start.

These people have become like family. They are some of the most self-less serving people I know. Their love for God and passion to serve the youth ministry and spread the glorious truth of the gospel to them is amazing. I have been so blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of this team of people. We love to serve together at different events through out the year and we also have a LOT of fun doing it. If you were a third-party looking into the life of the admin team you would notice a few things:
1) We love to serve - really...we do!

2) Sometimes we don't get much sleep during big events and become crazy

3) We love chipotle, smoothie king, and starbucks - but we certainly couldn't do anything without our fearless leader

As much as we laugh and make jokes and serve together, we are truly one big happy family. I know that I could count on any of these people to help me, to pray for me, and to encourage me. I am amazed and blessed each day that I get to serve along side them as we proclaim the Gospel of Christ to the youth of Covenant Life Church. I am so grateful for each and every one of them.
