Great worship at Ebz this weekend too!!!

This weekend was very busy and exciting. Jason had the chance to speak at NCC at our location at 6:30pm. We also had guest in town for that event such fun!! In addition to that on Saturday night Jason also led worship at Union station for all three services this morning. Just wanted to share some pictures.

Snowboarding

We enjoyed our time together and we were ready for a big dinner

after all day on the slopes!! Good times had by all!!

Jason was so kind, knew what he was doing and stayed with me on the bunny slopes after a crazy hour getting down the "real" mountain they attempted to get me on!!

This was the wonderful technique that I acquired while going down the "real" mountain. Crystal and I had a great time laughing at ME, and I am sure the guys on the ski lifts were entertained.

For Christmas this year the Ditch & Yost families decided we would make some memories instead of getting each other gifts. Well that we did for sure. Jason, Chris, and Crystal had all been snowboarding before where I had not. When we got there we were all so excited boarded up and warm as can be with all the layers and gear we had. To save the story I went down the bunny slope twice and then WE all decided I could handle a real mountain. Well as the pictures will show we all had fun... needless to say I stayed on the bunny hill the rest of the day and Jason taught me how to master the bunny hill!!!

New Year Goals

This year I have decided that my new years "resolutions" are really going to be New Years "Goals". Jason and I have sat down and categorized several areas as a family where we want to set "goals" for our 2009 year. I have been dong a lot of reflecting this first few weeks of 2009 to decide what this year will hold for me. The first goal of the new year was to pass my LGSW exam. This is the licensee that I need to continue in my current job and advance in a few years to a higher licensee. God was truly with me and I passed on January 5th!! So exciting!! Most excited that I do not have to study for another test for 2 years!! School officially over. Some of the other goals that Jason and I are excited about include Hawaii in 2011, paying off school now that its over, getting into a apartment in the city, and continuing to connect with new people and learning from them. It is amazing to sit back and see what God has done in just a year. It was just a year ago that Jason and I were starting to get a hit that God was calling us to move, do something different, and step out in faith. Not sure what that was at the time we started praying and fasting to seek the heart of God. In only 12 months he has placed us here at NCC and we are excited to see what he has for us this next 12 months!!
