Fill Your Bucket!

Last week I had the opportunity to travel up to Pennsylvania for the FCA’s Mid-Atlantic Region Capacity Conference at Spooky Nook Sports, the largest indoor sports complex in the U.S.  The theme this year was “Fill Your Bucket” and focused on renewing our passion and purpose for the ministry. Although there was certainly a bit of a “drinking out of a fire hose” element to the week, I left feeling so encouraged and I loved getting to meet some of my fellow teammates from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia.  We talked about everything from how to manage our time/energy in a job that is far from 9 – 5, to developing a culture of prayer, to leading the way as a ministry in terms of diversity and racial reconciliation.  In addition to being filled with lots of helpful information, we also had plenty of time for fellowship and competition with corn hole, can jam, volleyball, and dodgeball.  My team, Huddle 16, held our own in the sports competitions but dominated in the balloon/masking tape tower building event!  Overall, it was an amazing week and another reminder of how blessed I am to have this opportunity to serve the Lord, coaches, and students in this new role.
