So I haven't written in a long time and last time I wrote I had great intentions to keep it up but that hasn't worked out so well! Sorry, I really will try to do better! Lots to catch up on but the main thing is that we are rennovating our old family life center into a new youth center!! It's a 9,000sqft building so we will have lots of room to do whatever we need to! The Destiny Center will be opening may the 15th with a sponsor preview night then the ribbon cuting will be May 16th! We are so excited!! It has been lots of hard work and many almost all nighters but we are getting there! All the painting and electrical should be done this week, then The flooring will be all we have to finish! I cannot believe we just announced this project to the church 2 months ago! All of our youth kids are so excited and have been up here working almost every night after school and on weekends...they want to be in it so badly! There will be a high school/JR High sanctuary that seats 80-100, an internet cafe with iMacs and wireless internet for laptops, a video game area with Wii, X-Box 360, and Playstation 3, a college sactuary that seats 35-45 and a cafe area where we will serve snacks, candy and drinks. We are going to have a youth service every wednesday with a full band and everything, it will also be open some days throughout the week during the school year for tutoring, and every other friday night for kids to just hang out! It is going to be a lot of work but soooo worth it! I feel like I'll be up there hanging out for fun LOL
Other than that school is consuming my life! This is my last week of school work then finals next week, and a full term of summer school! YAY! (NOT) lol the sad news is becuase of summer school, camps, vacation bible school, and Impact conference we won't be coming to Indiana until the beginning of august for Jordan Parnell and Dacia Elkins wedding! I hate that I am not going to be able to see everyone until August, but that news is made better by the fact that my wonderful In-laws will be here May 14th and then we are doing a little VACA with my family may 20th in Gulf Shores!
I'll add pictures of the Destiny Center as soon as I can! Back to school work for now! Love you all!
