So this weekend was the Leadership Staff Development weekend for YoungLife. It was a good time. It was really nice to connect with the leader's from our team that went. It was really nice to hear about things that are frusterating to everyone. Sometimes I feel alone in the things that drive me crazy about myself or more specific the things that drive me crazy about doing YoungLife in the City. It's so hard for me to feel useful in the city. I know ministry isn't easy...It never is; but it's so hard for me to go without using my gifts. I guess it's a good way to work on using my other gifts; but I know even know what to use. Or where to start. Contact work doesn't exist... It's just so hard for me to understand how am I supposed to meet kids at Lane. One thing that is really nice, even though it isn't for YL is that I am helping out with the soccer team at Von. And those kids are so awesome. It's contact work, but not for Club. Oh well relationship's are relationships. I guess there is this thing between Von kids and Lane kids, so they won't go to club together. Uh. I get in; and it's not even an in. But oh well I guess. We will see where God is taking this one....All I do is ask that he shows up.
This weekend just put me at peace with some things that I'm going through to. It was just really nice to hear about sin in the lives of people and how the fact that I feel completely unworthy to do God's work more then I ever have; that it's completely okay. If that even makes sense.
There are so many things going through my mind... But I feel so good right now. Being away from school for a whole weekend and just being able to take time to myself....and being with people that I love... SO GREAT!
