hey guys..
i thought i'd post again just to give some things that I have been thinking about and feeling over the last few days...
CHANGE... man that is a big word and for some of us... we either love it or hate it...
sometimes change can be bittersweet... times change... friends change.... LIFE changes...
I guess this topic has come to mind because one of my favorite shows (Ugly Betty) has come to an end (sad I know... but not the only reason I bring up this topic... ;-) )
After watching the last episode... I got to thinking about all the changes that are happening around me...
The pastor from my home church... that I have known and looked up to for as long as I can remember is preaching his last sermon there on Sunday... and I won't be there to hear it...
Words cannot express the impact he has had in my life...the impact he has had on many lives throughout his years at Culpeper Baptist... Thanks Pastor Ted.... I'll miss you :-)
....Change... hmm it's hard to comprehend sometimes...
In only 4 semesters at Liberty, I have found SO many good friends.... and it's hard to see some go...
but... for them... it's time to start a new journey in the world... A Godly journey...A journey from being "in school" to being in "real life"
Even though I have only known these seniors for 2 years.. it feels like a lifetime..
Thanks guys for a wonderful 4 semesters... and Good Luck on your new journey.... We'll all miss you....
....hmmm...
well I think that is all I have right know... sorry if it's a little depressing... but I had to put it somewhere... :-)
Until next time...
In Christ,
Katie

Sometimes Life Just Gets To Busy!
Hey guys!!
wow.. I haven't posted in a super long time... since June last summer I think... hmmm time sure flies. As of right now I am finishing up my sophomore year at Liberty... and MAN what a year it has been.. an eye opening and heart opening year... I have grown SO much since last year...
Sometimes it feels like just yesterday I was starting high school... now I am going into my JUNIOR year in college... AHHHHH!!! haha... but I know God has amazing plans for me and I am going to go out into the world and change it for his glory!! :-)
So.. to update you on my life... and the reason I started this blog! My summer travels with the AMAZING and lovely Frick and Frack Music team...
Last summer had an amazing impact on my feelings about children's ministry... Bro. Phillip (my boss, who owns the company with his ministry partner Neesa) told a story ever week about how he came to be involved with children's ministry... He said that he used to not be able to spend one second around children let alone a week... and then when he got involved in the children's part of ministry... he couldn't imagine spending time with adults! haha
It's funny because after this summer, I can see where he is coming from...
I used to be kind of weird about being around kids.. especially younger kids... I much preferred being with middle school and high school age... but after spending the 12 1/2 weeks with hundreds of kids... I came to really appreciate them...
One of the things I always say when people ask me how my summer went is.. I will never again underestimate the abilities of a child. They are one of the most hard working groups of people I have ever been around... and the amazing thing is... the LOVE it... even more than the team did... they want to do their best for you... and you have to encourage them... they looked up to all the team members...
I'll just end by saying that I had an AMAZING time last summer.... and announce that I am going again this year and I am SUPER excited... especially for the new churches that we have never been to before and meeting all the new wonderful children and pouring into them the love of God... so that one day they will grow to have a relationship with him and then pour into someone themselves!
I am going to try to keep this blog updated... and maybe even promise to post a picture from each church every week.... just to give you guys an idea about what I am doing...
okay well... thanks for reading!!!
In Christ,
Katie
