Life up date in the middle of the craziness
Retreat rush 06 is here and what does that mean....well....it means lots of retreats of course. My church is having two retreats in three weeks which I have the joy of putting together. I actually do enjoy doing planning of the retreats. I have met some great young people and young adults...not that I am an old person but its nice to work on a retreat of other young adults. God has blessed my ministry and it continues to grow. This year my ministry has started with no youth group members to having 15 regular members and 15 that come occasionally but do are active. I was nervous when starting up youth group this year. I didn't know what to expect or if kids would get involved this year, last year was a bomb and I thought perhaps maybe I wasn't called to do youth ministry work but God works on a different schedule then we do. I have to remember to work with God's will and not expect everything to happen according to my time.
Lent is i here and I have decided to give up fast food as one of the things to do for my journey during lent but I am not going to limit myself there. My fasting is going well in this area, I am very proud of myself because it has not been easy.
I realize the other day something about myself it is something I think I will really need to work on for the next few monthes and even years. I think am emotionally too open. I share too much to fast or just say too much to some people to quickly. I think that it scares most of the girls that I am really interested in before I could date them. Some feelings should not shared openly or quickly. I have to make more control over myself. I need to share I think comes from my years of keeping everything in and not sharing. I am afraid to become what I use to be that I am too open so I think its time to tighten the emotional belt. God will give me strength.
Well I have more to write but sleep calls. Good night.
