Six Flags Trip

Well, I just got back from our Six Flags Magic Mountain Trip with the teens late Tuesday night. We had a great time, but I must say, it was bitter sweet. It was my last trip with "my" teens and selfishly wish it did not end. I am going to miss this group so much, however I do know that I am going in the direction that the Lord wants me to. (Please check out some pictures in my Flickr Section.)
We have made a lot of memories the past three years and during this three day trip we were able to "stroll down memory lane" multiple times throughout the trip. If any of the teens are reading this…I am going to miss you so much, but we will be able to keep each other updated through things like (im, email and this blog site.)

The trip was a blast we spent all day monday at six flags trying to ride every roller coaster possible (which I must say we did a pretty good job at.) Then we spent tuesday afternoon at Mission Beach in San Diego. It was a little cloudy and the water was only 65 degrees, but we made the best of it. Shaina, you are awesome, you definetley rode the longest wave on your "boogy board," congratulations! I have to admit I was hesitant on going on this trip because of all the stuff I had to do to get ready to move, but I would not have traded it for the world! Foothills Teens are awesome and I love them so much.

If you are reading this and you don't know anyone from Foothills and you think this post is not worth your time reading, here is a life lesson. It actually will go right along with my good friend Chris Humby and his latest post. With everyone you meet, take advantage of the opportunity to invest in them. Be a super hero to the people God has put in your path…because you will find that when you invest in them that your life will have meaning. Too often we live our lives in shallow water…we don't allow ourselves to get close with anyone. I am so glad that I have poured out my heart to these teens because I have learned something…sometimes you will invest in them and you will become their super hero and other times they rescue right back becasue they care and they know you do to.

I am so glad that I have shared these experiences with them. Enjoy your life and the people around you…they are your greatest investment. Thanks Chris!
