We've started!

Last night we had our first official Summit meeting. After club we (those that went last year and 2 other girls) discussed our 'plan of atttack' regarding transportation, Summit events, sightseeing, and tons of other things. We split up jobs between the 3 of us who know that we are going to find places to eat, shop, sight-see, etc. We have also started working on t-shirt designs-who knows what they'll look like as of last night!!! Haha. So far it looks like we will have 3-5 girls going to quiz, and we will all be doing some sort of fine arts as well. The games team I was on last year also just e-mailed us today. It looks like they will need more girls again. Hopefully it will work out. They were such a fun group, just like many other groups from Summit!!!!! There is a lot more excitement this year, now that there's more than just me talking about Summit!

Happy Thanksgiving!

OK, so this has nothing to do with Summit, but I wanted to post it anyway.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!

not doing much

Well, my mom and I have started getting things ready for Summit. Two girls from our group have relatives that live in Flordia, and we are trying to connect with them. Last year we took a couple days for sight seeing and stayed at my Aunt & Uncle's house. We are trying to do the same thing this year, only at another person's relatives-I don't have any in Flordia. That's really all that is happening with Summit right now. There is another girl that's interested in going, but somehow I don't think she will do quizzing. We seem to not have many people who like it, for some reason and I don't have a clue as to why that is.

Encouraged

We finally played a couple of the games last night-yay! I hope the same focus that was there will stay throughtout the year.
I was encouraged by how many questions the hard-core quizzers (2 of us) have made for practice. We have gone through over half the book, and it looks like we will finish it before the end of the year. In our group this is a goal that hasn't been finished until almost quiz day, because it has fallen only one or two quizzers. Big accomplishment for us. Summit- here we come! haha

Frustrated

With almost everybody I know starting to at least PLAY the Awana games. I'm feeling a bit behind. We haven't even started playing them like we have in the past. Ok, so even though I can't play them right now (I partily dislocated my shoulder recently), I still think we should be. I already know how to play all of them, and unlike most, I focus during the practices that we have. Most people know I am competitive, but I also like to have fun. In my mind playing the Awana games is fun, when other people are focusing and not purposefully breaking the rules, etc. It's frustrating because the other people complain about not doing that well at regionals, and I know that it's because they didn't focus and practice when we had practice. If you've read this far, thanks for 'listening' . That's enough for now.

Title

Since I seem to be the last one to post the reason behind my title....
On almost all of my e-mails or letters during the past couple years, I have used this signature instead of "In Christ" "Sincerly" or whatever else you may choose. I thought of this during a time in my life when I knew that God was calling me into some sort of ministry. Since we are to be servants for Christ, the word 'serving' seemed appropriate, and it is not capitalized because we are in NO way as Awesome or Powerful as our Master and Creator-Jesus Christ. Christ is our 'King' , I think that is clear enough. There arre also many different ways, great and small that we can serve God. Therefore, thoughout my life no matter how little or big the task, I want to be known as a person who is truly "serving the King".
