Lynch's Life

How great is God? I would have to say pretty darn great! About a week ago, I was just plain struggling. Thanks to my wonderful Savior, my sincerely sweet husband, Jarrett's kisses, and friends' prayers, I am feeling much better.

Things are busy now, but I have enjoyed it. I took 19 youth girls to an all girls' conference in Lubbock this weekend. They seemed to have a great time, and I love being a part of their wonderful lives. Now we are planning for Disciple Now this weekend. I am so excited for it. The students always look forward to it, and Shaun has put a lot of hard work and love into this one. I think they will have a blast. But more than the obvious fun;) I want our students to find Christ.

That is something I wake up reading and trying to pray everyday. That Shaun and I find Christ in the midst of everything. We want to find our lives in His hands. We want to seek His presence and His peace. I feel we are in a great place right now together. We have spent 2 different nights now up until at least 2am talking. Don't know about you others out there-but I LOVE getting to talk to my husband that long and that intimately. We were just pouring our hearts out to each other. That is from our lives with the Lord to me talking about the Duggar family (whom I adore) to Shaun talking sports-which I am learning! It has been wonderful!

It seems it is always during this time of the year, everything seems to go neutral. Students are tired of school, adults are ready for summer (some of them), the students in our ministry are tired and so are we..as I am sure our volunteers are too! This time becomes are downtime (after DNOW) to rest and recuperate and get ready for summer. Shaun and I hope to get that time just as a family. Not to visit others or go somewhere fun and fancy. We want to be alone-just the 3 of us-and search God. Have HIM prepare us for this summer. It will be hard. Shaun is gone one week, home one week, gone one week...well you get the idea..all up until August. That is a lot of away time from each other. So I pray we get that time now.

I guess we are different. In saying this I mean that we are not about travelling everywhere and doing everything. Don't get me wrong if money and time allowed we would do this from time to time. But for now, we don't want to be tired from the school year of work and go into the summer that way. We want to be recuperated and the best place and way to do that is to seek our Lord and find His peace and comfort.

I pray as the school year starts closing that you too search and find His peace. Don't buy into the world's ideas of escape-true escape and comfort is only found within Him. Love you all!
