lately...
we have been consumed at barton with PINK HAT DAY which is a fabulous day on campus where we invite all of the presbyterian women from the state and surrounding states who support us year-round to join us for the day on campus. (see my facebook page for some pictures!) the women tour the "pink-ed out" homes and campus and then have a fabulous lunch and time together in our gym with presentations by staff and youth. some of the girls were in a fashion show and each of the youth participated in a "cardboard" testimony time during the song "the wind beneath my wings." it took a lot of preparation of the house and the girls to be ready, but we did it and the house looked great. the girls were gracious hostesses and looked really cute, as well. they each got pink flip flops and big pink flowers to wear in their hair for the festivities. it was an exciting day! then, reality hit and we were thrown back into the swing of things of real life. it was quite the week after the adrenaline wore off, and we had the opportunity to guide the youth through a variety of issues. GOD was given great opportunities to shine, and shine His love, He did. thanks be to God!
the week before that we were consumed with PROM! we ended up having two youth go to prom this year, and it was a full-time job getting everyone prepped for this! we were so happy to see them have the opportunity and for all the ways God provided exactly what we needed for them to be able to participate and have a true Prom experience. both girls had a good time!
now, we turn to GRADUATION which is just a little over a week away for our oldest youth! please be in prayer for her and us as there is much on the plate to be done and many decisions to be made. it is times like these that can be the most difficult for our youth as transition and life milestones can trigger unexpected issues, problems, or pain.
as always, prayers appreciated. and contact us please and let us know how you are and how we can pray for you!
