A good problem, but a problem, non the less.

so, I am very excited about the record numbers consistently coming out to both youth groups, but there is adjustments needed. You see, many of the kids have never been to a youth group, or a Bible Study/small group. They don't know how to act, how to behave, what to do.

I want to make the right decision, God's decision, on not watering down the message, but not losing kids who have never been here before either.

It is a tough thing to wrestle with, but maybe I should pray about it. I love that kids are connected, I am scared of finding the right balance for all of the exremes.

So, though I doubt I ahve more than one reader (thanks erin) i will post again.

I have started supervising again at Silverspring school, which is a great way to get to know the gr 6-8 kids in the community. Though in my 2 times back this year, they ahv eplaced me with the kindergarten's both times because of need.

Now I am doing this to serve, so wherever they need me is fine, but there is ministry strategy as well, in that it is not likely that I will invite the kindergartens out to yuth group any time soon..

Though it is more peaceful in the kinder room at lunch, where htey still listen to you in there (after gr 5 that is gone). it is testing my servanthood. I think to myself..i could ahve been meeting a student leader for lunch, instead of wiping the noses of kisd who I am not generally gifted to lead. So, am I doing it for strategy or service? I am not sure. They tell me I won't be in that room all the time. We will see.
