Worshipping... I wonder if God is tapping his toes....


Sunday nights are our High School student ministry group.  One hundred + geeky, awkward, cool, athletic, brainiac, artistic high schoolers come to either experience the God they know and love or are curious and want to find out why some students they know LOVE going to church!  

There is hangout time, a talk which is always given in a way that high schoolers can relate to, cool videos used for announcements that the high school pastors, directors and even volunteers participate in.

And then there is music.  Awesome, solid, rockin Christian music!  This isn't your typical hymn music!  I get the pleasure of taking pics of our Worship Team and last night was awesome!  If you didn't know better, you would think you were at a concert.  The lights, the music, the jumping on a speaker by one of the high school musicians... it was a concert alright, a concert for God.  I wondered as I was witnessing this time, if God was up tapping his toe to the beat.  Maybe snapping his fingers and maybe, just maybe, when no one was looking, He stood up and danced!

Sarah and Ocala horse showing 2013

We love showing during the circuit in Ocala, Florida each year.  It makes leaving the wintery days in Michigan easier!  That being said, it's also much tougher to get qualified in the Equitation classes.  There are anywhere between 45-50 riders in each Equitation class!  For the riders, you have to make every round count!  

So proud of Sarah in this particular WIHS Hunter phase round.  She received a score of 87!  She placed 3rd in that class, 1st and 2nd place received scores of 88 and 89!  She had the WIHS Jumper phase the next day and received a score of 82 which placed her 4th overall with her combined scores!
