So Wednesday nights are going to look a little different for me from now on. I'm going to be volunteering at Bethany Community Church with the high school ministries. I've decided that, rather I feel called to work at BCC as opposed to lead Young Life again. I'm not sure why, but I'm interested to find out. The kids I've met so far are nothing like I was expecting them to be. I think I had this preconceived notion of what the youth group kids of my church were like...I was nowhere near accurate.
I'm excited to see what I can do for these kids; respectively, I'm excited to see what they in turn can do for me. I'm nervous because I want them to like me. I'm nervous because I want the other leaders to like me. Although I shouldn't really care what they think about me, I secretly do.
I pray (and ask you to join me) in the following: For the hearts of my students to be open. For them to feel comfortable enough with me to let me into their lives. For God, to be the sole reason why I do what I do and for nothing to come in the way of Him. I pray for the church as whole, and all those who lead. I ask for patience, guidance, love, and mercy for not only myself but for everyone in this ministry and everyone affected by it.
Amen.
