no way man!!!

navigate is over:[ Im SO SO SO SAD!!!! well idk how i did on todays final but it was so fun today!!!

anyways I was looking at my sisters myspace and she wrote this last night and posted it on there today


When the waves come crashing down
I take one foot out this old boat
And think I'm gonna drown

But You are holding out Your hand
And I can see Your face
With every step that I take forward
You feel farther away

This storm is way to big for me
And I can't walk these waters
One more step and I'm sure I'll die
I wish that I was stronger

I know I'm giong under
I can't seem to stay afloat
But Your arms pick me up
And place me back on my safe boat

You hug me tight but still
I see the sadness in Your smile
You say, " I guess you won't be
Steping back out, for a while

You could have walked those waters
The whole time, I was so near
You know I'm stronger then that storm
But whats stronger, Your faith or your fear?

idk y but i am totally in love with poem!!!! well im off c ya- jess-kuh

finals tommorow

i am like so pumped for finals Sunday. the study guide looks easy but i cant under estimate the test because if it is had I'm in deep deep water.

today i went to my Nana's house and great aunt's house to go help them out and check on them, my Nana is like 95 and my aunt is like 64 so you know how it goes at a old persons house, you go in it smells the same every time she is and worried about the vacuum streaks on the carpet and they are watching an old john Wayne movie. well that's my Nana.

Ministry Project

For my ministry project, I interviewed/shadowed Crystal Tullos. As you know, her job is being a youth pastor! Plus some other things, like counseling, budgeting, finances, etc. The day was packed with meetings, Navigate stuff, and baby stuff to do. It was kind of crazy to say the least. I definitley have gained new respect for her after seeing everything that she does and learned that it's not all fun and games (like grading papers....ugh). A big thing that came to mind was that if you want to work in ministry, you'd better be dedicated.

well my post is kinda on the same lines as Chase's but much longer so bare with me. anywhoo i just wanted to say how grateful i am for everyone. For Mrs Shantell, Mrs Samantha, Karina, Pastor Crystal and Tyler; just everyone. this summer has done so much for me and i know y'all had to give up alot of time and effort but i just wanted to say it wasn't for nothing. I know without all of y'all i couldn't grow like have this summer. Because i have grown so much.

Crystal remember that talk you had with year 1 about how if only one thing we would this summer is respect then that would be OK. Well hope we all learned that and i am sorry i was guilty for not saying thank you for taking me on the MysteryTrip but i admire you for everything you do and even though you don't see the fruits of you labor they are there and each day you impact someones life so don't give in ever because your amazing. So thank you and i will miss everyone SO much. I wouldn't take this experience back for anything. I love y'all

My Ministry Project!!!!!

For my ministry project I chose my mom, Dee Dee Rentz. She is an administrative assistant at Healing Place Church. She plans travel for Pastor Dino and DeLynn and also for the staff of HPC. She also works in the finance department helping with the entry of credit card charges and also the weekly offering count. It was fun and I learned that no matter how fun working at the church would be it is also still hard work.

Skill portfolio......Activity

i have some excellent neighbors. They are Katlen, Seth, Katie, and Ethen. Oh my goodness we did the exact same activity that Zoe did. I had no clue! Well we did ours outside and had scooters, water guns, balls, and shoes all on the drive way. The first time, Katie directed katlyn and Seth directed Ethen. Then it got harder we changed the coarse and i started yelling so they could not hear the directions. Then we did it one last time and i was yelling even louder in their ear. That was the hardest level for them. It was quite fun for me. The learned to trust each other and how to give and receive directions. They were very positive in the beginning and positive threw out. They really liked the game. I learned how to lead a group effectively. ---- Chase

Lost

Lost is to not know


where we are


why we are there


or how to get out





Lost is to not have


a reason


a clue


or any love





Lost is to be


scared


deserted


alone





Lost people


arent happy


dont have jesus


need love





The only reason lost people are lost is becaeuse someone hasnt been brave enough to go out, get their hands dirty and show the love and light of Jesus in their dark world.

Be Brave
Be Loving

Be a Rescuer!

Late assignment

The other day I helped cut and edge my Nana's grass it was pretty fun except it was hot as crud outside, but it was fun.

Team work makes the dream work!

Ok, so for the teamwork project, we had a very interesting activity. It had to deal with a blind fold and obstacles. OOOOOOO. So, we had one person at one end of the room, and another at the other.:). There were various small, to medium size objects on the floor. And the object of the game was to lead the blindfolded person across the room and to get them to sit in the chair on the other side.

Well, Zack, Dylan, and I got together with my two cousins and played this game. Zack tried it first. My cousin was blindfolded and Zack lead him across the room. But it was really hard at first. My cousin Miles hit a lot of the stuff on the floor, because at first, Zack's directions weren't clear enough.

Then, Dylan lead Gage around the room. It was a little easier beacause Dylan instructed him better.

Then, I was blindfolded, and Zack lead me around the room. It was really easy, because instructions were very easy.

We talked about it, and what we got was that as a leader, if you don't give good instructions to a person who is under you, the can have a really hard time getting to the goal.

So, that's it.

okay so for

my ministry project i did the same thing as laci!! we both did childrens ministry with kari. i also did it on july 9th, but anyways i never knew you childrens ministry was so confusing!! but kari does an amazing job! I really would like to help out in childrens church and sdo things like taht because i just love seeing how on fire all the kids are for God. Kari explained her job to us and it seems pretty hard she has to prepare for 4 sevices and organize blue sushi stuff and sometimes more!!! I cant wait until I can start doing that kind of stuff!!!!! - Jessica

The Day With Kari for Ministry Project

On Monday, July 9th I decided to start my Ministry project and I choose Kari Smith from Children's Ministry. It was the week of Vacation Bible School so I thought it would be prefect. We had so much fun and I learned so much. It is not an easy job having to work with kids but it looks like fun. Kari has to deal with alot of things like Blue sushi, JC's, camps, and many other things. We had lots of fun. I think Children's Ministry would be a fun and cool ministry to be in sometime in the future. Thank you Kari for a fun and exciting day.

this year of navigate is going by so quick it seems like last year was as long as the school year but if this is what school was then i would go on weekends. well every now and then i'd like a break.

first of all, dont worry mine is pretty late too. so sorry peoples!
anyways for my elderly project pretty much every friday and other days of the week i often go and help out with cooking for christ. i know i know your porbably thinking thats it right? but actually i think its really rewarding. i get to meet some awesome people like brother larry, mr bubba, mr richard, mrs tracy...etc. and help other people come closer to God. Well i love to do it and some of you lazy people (oh dont make me point you out :D) need to come out and do it because you'll love it too. i guarentee beacuse it totally beast..haha.

ps- yea yea i know no picture for this one sorry people i forgot- because of my short term memory lose- to take it. so yea ill remeber to snap a photo next time.

Hey! Sorry it's late!

Well, during last week, I went over and helped my grandma. I helped her carry groceries from her car, and I helped clean around her house. She had a lot of groceries, too! She was very thankful, and gave me a bag of fortune cookies she had gotten. We ate a few, and then I had to go.
I know it's not much. But I kinda felt good after helping her. She seemed really happy, and I was too.
Well, that's what I did to help out!
Zoe

Oh, and sorry there is no picture!
I'll have one soon!

VBS

well hello there. just thought i would stop in and leave a post. Well today was the last day of VBS and can i say i am totally pooped. After crazzy kids, feeling sick, and breaking my shoe ( long story) i would still have to say it was totally worth it. Just to sit and watch these kids have fun learning about God was super awesomeness. I am so happy i decided to do this. VBS rocked my face off and i wouldnt change it for the world.

PS- The eldery project info for navigate due next week will be put up soon. so stay tuned for more :D
