P31 -- girls night


P31 
is a just girls night- starts at 7:00 P.M. (mind you!)
and goes to 5:00 A.M
it's quite a rocking time! sessions and group times, with games and amazingly cool prizes! (like a iPad!)
followed by a variety of activities-
a bouncy house, make-up room, hair room, bracelet making (i was in charge of this activity), Wii, movie with popcorn and candy, photo booth with fun props, letter craft (cover your initial with a fun textured yarn)...
fun all night long!!







First time ever to have Chinese take out!






A few of my campers came to P31!

learning to finger knit! = )

OCTOBER \\ reflection


let's reflect--
God is so faithful!!
Even when it seems that we have fallen short of a blessing...
His way is so perfect- and sometimes it is just disguised behind the low digits that we expect Him to bring to a hundred percent...
In our human minds, 
                 we are so quick to say that God slacked on His end--
When, let's be honest with ourselves!
That is His way of showing us
HE IS GOD!
His way is perfect!

Deuteronomy 32:4
“The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.

Isaiah 55:9
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.

--->We have to do our part!
                               let us be faithful!



Thank you for your prayers and support!
Every bit is counted for glory! May God be lifted high and Mighty, and the Gospel declared!
I ask that you continue to remember me in your prayers, 
                        since our struggle is not against flesh
               and blood, but against principalities, against powers, 
                    against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
                       against spiritual wickedness in high places 
                                                           (Ephesians 6:12).
And I thank my God for each one of you! Philemon 1:4!

 Please continue to check out my blog regularly, I try to post often- but sometimes the next week is upon us and gone before we blink!
