2 things: student's creativity & taking time for myself

2 things struck me today...

#1) Students' creativity:

#2) It's 10:15. I got home 30 mins ago. Showered and ate. And, then, I needed some chill time for myself. Normally, I'd hop into some work. But, my good friend Ellen, is really good at taking time out for herself. I used her as an example. As much as I try to invest and flow into others, it's just as important to flow into myself. Now, I find myself listening to Genius Mixes on iTunes, Banco & Portis leaning over my shoulders, lathering Burt's Bees Peppermint onto my feet, painting my toenails, checking email, and blogging. Sounds like a great 30 mins before bed.

Moral of the Story: Here's a cool pic from this past weekend with Young Life leaders at the retreat. Sometimes you need tons of friends to have fun, sometimes you can find fun through students' creativity, and sometimes fun needs to be alone.
