Back In The Saddle
Tuesday 12 August 2008 at 8:29 pm If anyone tells you that teaching at a conference after summer is restful I can testify that person is a liar. That is not saying that God didn’t show up and speak to me at the conference, because he did. I was just so exhausted afterwards that I slept all the way from Kentucky to West Virginia on the way home.Monday I just sat in my recliner and played with blocks.
Tuesday was a good day. I eased backed into work starting by meeting with Amy, Jess and George then meeting the food bank team when they got back followed by Raleigh North Youth Nite.
I love Youth Nite. It was so good to be back with my kids and youth. Raleigh North Youth Nite is at the early stage with this group of youth. I sometimes wonder if I have the strength to start another youth group, but once I show up on site and I get with these kids some searching for Christ, some taking stumbling first steps as Christians, a couple growing in Christ and bunch there for snacks and to get on the computers I know that I am in the center of God’s will. I love the honesty of at-risk youth. I was trying to get them to friend me on Myspace tonight, only 3 out of 17 agreed. I was later talking to them about how they shouldn’t have anything on their pages that they wouldn’t want me to see. Aylaza said there’s nothing on my page that I don’t want you to see I just don’t want you as my friend.
The next few days I will be doing an important part of the ministry but not my favorite part of the ministry, writing budgets and planning. Please pray for me during the rest of this week as I work on these important items.
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. (1Peter 5:6 - 9 NLT)
I Love These Guys:
