We did it! It seemed impossible, but we did it! Or more accurately, God did it because we could not have done it on our own. Our church raised enough money for the kids to go to Youth Convention with very little out-of-pocket expenses for each family. We are very excited and feel very blessed!
So yesterday at 6:30 we packed up everybody's stuff into the truck, prayed for the group, and sent them off to meet the rest of their group in Seattle. And then they were off bright and early this morning on their way to Estes Park, CO! Needless to say, they were all a little excited about the trip.
We sent Zack with a camera and orders to say hello to everyone there that we know. Hopefully he will come back with lots of pictures to share. Hey, maybe I'll even get him to write a bit about his trip. (More likely that he will dictate to me what to write about his trip. LOL) Two months ago I couldn't even imagine going to Youth Convention, but now we are feeling a little jealous that we are not going. It would be great fun!
Have fun Zack! We'll miss you when you're gone!

Praise the Lord for allowing the trip! I hope they have a great time. I'll say a prayer for the group. Boy, you've been busy! Ministry is such hard work but the Lord will bless you for it, many times over. Hope you can rest a bit soon!
God bless,
Kate
Sounds like a great achievement and reward for lots of hard work.
Blessings,
Paula
PS, I loved your comment about homeschoolers being on the frontlines of God's will, and said a hearty AMEN when I read it!
Wow, there's no way that Zack can be old enough for convention, is there? That's amazing! It will be great to hear about his experiences there!
