Dave and I had a good meeting yesterday just hammering out what our goals are for the year and what we want to see happen in each ministry as well as the youth in general. I am really very excited about where things are and where they are going, it is all looking very healthy and growing quite naturally. This is a very important time though as a new crop of youth are coming through now and it is essential for us to built relationships and disciple them.

We've had another hard rain, and even a good bit of hail. The ground is covered with marble sized people of ice and I had to run to grab buckets and jugs to catch all the drips from our leaking roof. The lights are in fact flickering on and off as I type this. There really is nothing quite like a Highvelt thunder storm, they come fast and furious. I was told today that Johannesburg gets more lightning than any other city in the world and I believe it. I've missed this weather, the constant cycle of hot days, thunderstorm and then cool night, its clockwork.

Allan and I practiced our little hearts out and valentines ball is going to be good. We ended the night appropriately by watching the dashboard confessional unplugged for some inspiration.

Dave and I have hammered out our goals today, as well as looking at all the leaders and where they need to be. Please pray for the goals that they would be what God wants and that we would trust him to fulfill them. Once we have decided for sure I'll post them and let you all know. We also have decided that we will be going through the life of Christ in our Sunday morning teaching times.
