Regional Staff Conference

I love working for InterVarsity. I love the work I do, I love my students, I love my co-workers, and I love my boss (who wouldn't want to work for Jesus?). I do have staff partners here in College Station with me  (below is a pic of me with Carolyn my staff partner at A&M) and for them I am very grateful, but I also have over 30 other co-workers that are scattered across Texas and Oklahoma. I do not get to see all of them very often, but once a year we all gather together to celebrate, reconnect, rest, receive training, and updates on the ministry in the region. This gathering is called our Regional Staff Conference and it was just last week. We focused on Spiritual Develop this year. It was refreshing and challenging. I am hoping to bring back some good habits to home and campus...its so easy to neglect ourselves as we pour out into students. I am so grateful for the guidance and time with Jesus I received at the conference.

We held it at Camp Tejas this year and last. Checkout their website! If you are interested in holding a retreat, conference, or just vacation in Texas you should check it out its awesome! We stayed in the building called the Four Seasons; every room is named and decorated based on a month of the year. I am including pics of our room this year, we stayed May. :) It had a nautical/lake house theme. Please excuse the messiness, we were in the midst of packing up when I took these.

These are my roomates, Sara and Sarah; they are on staff at Texas Tech and UT Austin (respectively). We usually room together at camps and conferences. I just love these women. They have awesome insight, godly wisdom, ask good questions, and are great listeners. Its always so fun to room together, its a little like a sleepover, or being back in college with roommates.So fun!
