This weekend was the BEST…

Although this is our first year as Crossroads, it’s our second year to host weekend hunts for deserving youth. We’ve discovered that after each hunt, we find ourselves saying, “This has been the BEST hunt yet!” Yesterday was no exception. We were all saying it. And it was great! But after thinking about it yesterday on the drive home to Austin, I began to realize it’s really not that it was the “best,” but that it was “unique.” We see it as the best, I think, because we’re always so amazed how God reveals Himself each and every time to meet needs of each boy. You see, there’s a lot … a whole lot … of quiet time out in those blinds … waiting. Lots of time for the guides to pray, talk, encourage and to be quiet. Lots of time for the Lord to speak into the boys’ hearts and to the needs of their lives.

Happy Hunters

We are so excited when ALL our hunters have a successful harvest. So there was a lot of rejoicing when the other 2 hunters came in Saturday night with smiles on their faces!

Rain, rain and more rain!

We’re thankful for the 4-plus inches in the rain gauge for the day, but it makes for some very wet hunting and challenging conditions.

A day of patience and harvest
