Love these knuckleheads. I've had nearly every single one as a student in LGP and now my first class of 8th graders are seniors. When did that happen? Who let that happen? All the nope. But they still talk to me so that's a win 😂😂 I really love what I do. #middleschoolministry #LGP #lovinggodandpeople #stopgrowingup #myheart #timetogotohighschoolministrymaybe

I love these goofballs. For the last three years, they have put a smile on my face, given me joy when I had none, honest about where they're at in life and with Jesus, and just all around great kids. This weekend was our (month early) send off to high school. I both love and hate this weekend. I love it because we (their leaders) get the chance to speak into their lives with encouragement and caution, and spend time with just them. I hate it because it means it's almost time to hand them off to the high school staff and take a small step back from their lives. Three years is just not long enough, but this season is ending. LGP class of 2018, I love you guys more than you know. Thank you for the last three years, I wouldn't trade them for the world ❤ • • • • • • • • #LovingGodandPeople #LGP #8thgraderetreat #imnotcryingyourecrying #jonahisanewsie #carbuddies #mountainhighvalleylow #nomorehamiltontho

My 26th birthday yesterday was magical, and the party continued tonight with my middle schoolers ❤🎆🎉☄ thank you all for the birthday wishes, I felt so so so loved (and I'm still gonna try and thank everyone personally, so bear with me!)! Yesterday held rope drop, friends, MaxPass, Trader Sam's, and awesome conversations. Today held more great convos, more friends, and my students. And I'm going to brag on my students, y'all, so here we go. I don't care how low I am feeling any day or week, but after 5 minutes with these young men and women of God, I know God is using all of us in mighty ways. That said, one of my girls walks in with a cake she made for me (which was delish, in case you were wondering), then another walks in with this beauty. She was so excited to give it to me, y'all, she was pre-hyping me up about it on Sunday 😂 but oh my gosh you guys, this is so cool! I'm just floored that someone would get this for me! I'm so humbled to be the leader of these amazing students because their servant hearts constantly inspire and amaze me. Love these kids to pieces, and feel so loved by them! Bring it on, 26! #birthday #LovingGodandPeople #braggingonmystudents #TheLionKingfanatic

I got to go to church and hang out with a few students. Thanks Jesus! #middleschoolministry #pieology #justleaderthings #lovinggodandpeople

I had the wonderful privilege of watching these amazing students sing and act their hearts out last night! I wish I could go to the last two shows, but work is getting in the way (and naturally closing night is sold out). Regardless, they were absolutely fantastic and fabulously funny! I'm a proud youth group/small group leader! #heightschristianjuniorhigh #granadaheightsfriendschurch #LovingGodandPeople #MusicManJunior (at Curtis Theatre)

So I'm basically going to start sobbing on Wednesday. Tonight was the LGP (Loving God & People, our middle school group at church) staff appreciation dinner. Amazing food, words of encouragement, then we get hit with gifts. From our small groups. I'm basically dying right now, and cannot believe how incredibly blessed I am to be part of such an amazing ministry. If you told me 3 years ago that getting fired from Forest Home and losing my internship would be the best thing to ever happen to me, I would've called you insane. I love my students dearly, and am continually pointed back to Jesus by them. I only hope I'm as big a blessing to them as they are to me. #LGP #LovingGodandPeople #Imbasicallysobbing #blessed #middleschoolministry #Imsonotworthy (at Periard House)

When you get home from work to this picture 😂😆😁🐙 My middle schoolers and their siblings put on a production of The Little Mermaid for FREE (with suggested donations for a family at our church to take to Africa when they go back later this year) at church tonight, and I for reals cannot wait for a dvd of the performance! Proud of these kids! (Did I mention the whole thing was their idea, and aside from a couple of parents ran the whole thing themselves?) #lgp2016 #lovinggodandpeople #ghfc #thelittlemermaid

Two summers ago, I was looking forward to joining a team of a new program at Forest Home, not knowing what to expect. This year, I'm looking forward to a summer spent with my crazy, awesome middle schoolers. I still don't know what to expect, but I know and pray that God shows up as we host our events and programs and whatever else. Can't wait! #lovinggodandpeople #ghfc #middleschoolleader #andproud (at Granada Heights Friends Church)

Daniel (on phone): I live on 1.5 acres. Bodie: What's that in square inches? Serve day shenanigans. Most entertaining car ride of my life (tied with "We're not doing rounds, Devin!) #lovinggodandpeople #serveday #servingthesavior #phonecallswithBodie
