Jesus Camp
So, this past weekend was our annual youth retreat. here was what was involved:
decision making, spiritual highs, crazy games, COUNSELING, late nights, yummy marshmellows, early mornings, girl talk about boys, learning about spiritual gifts, and much much more!
now, i know you're wondering what "deep" thoughts went on during all of this but you need to calm down a bit cause i'm about to tell you.
for a while now i've wanted to be a youth minister. why you ask? well it's very simple....i love church, i feel that my spiritual gift is with kids, and i love the idea that i can have a job where i get to have fun telling the kids about God and applying it to their lives. but there's a problem. if somebody asked you to describe me in one word, everybody could automatically say "shy". so how am i supposed to reach these kids if i can't even get up enough strength to show my peers that i want to be a youth minister? how am i supposed to talk in front of who-knows-how-many kids if i can't even stand people looking at me too long? how am i gonna make this work?
