let down
I feel wicked let down. Our momentum event sucked face. The teens were horribly behaved, sleeping during the show, which should be hard to do, especially during a hard southern type rock show. They were texting, and just plain rude. DecembeRadio, Everyday Sunday and Chris Ames were all good. There were several curse words and argh just lamery. I feel bad because I had to keep rebuking the kids. I was so pumped for the event. I had help from jami and then my couple who I am hopeful to get involved regularly Chris and Connie there. After we discussed the sleeping in church thing, AGAIN, and the Connie took a turn and said pretty much everything I had said, or what I would have continued to say. Well they were all ticked at her which will be hard in the relationship building thing later. One girl even said to me, we were fine with the criticism from YOU, so it was more someone they didn't know saying it. just irking. Then there was when they argued with me about why it's right what they did. Usually my kids are up for a bit of debate and I dont mind much but when they make me look bad, well not the me looking bad but that they are missing the moving of the Holy Spirit out of hardheadedness and such that is what irks me.
And the leader lack thing. I am grateful. I talked to them again we had an 'afterglow' eating pizza at the office and such and I spoke again with them about their attitudes and they pulled the "she don't know us" card. I said it doenst matter because I said to respect our adults AND she was saying all the stuff I had been saying, so listen and process, argue less.
irking. i feel bad for having to correct them constantly tonight. I feel like a bad leader because they think they can do these things? I feel confused because I dont want to be legalistic, like "dont talk like this, dont dress like this, dont do this," because it's not what Christ would do He loved people where they were, but they were also changed. But they were also changed so they didnt do those things out of choice. I guess I am just confused.
frustratation.
and while I was writing this. I got a call from jami, her tire broke, so we got to change a tire at 130 in the morning how fun.
what a crazy Sunday.
