i cannot wait to do things again, to serve, to be invovled in youth ministry again
i cannot CANNOT wait!!!
i'm so excited. i'm just so excited.
tonight was the most amazing and meaningful gathering ever.

we look at God's word, we shared our lives, what we thought.
what we've been through in our lives. thinking about His word and trying to figure it out and not just go "oh so its like this, alright i'll just abide by it". like... wow you know.. wow. just sitting there, taking time to think, to understand God's word, to have community help you.

and what blew me away were the different opinions everyone had to share. it all sounds so abstract but it was everyone's opinion and it all made sense in the end. there's no 'pai-seh-ness' about sharing and then trying to think whether someone's going to shoot you down or try to override your opinion or no one would want to hear your opinion. its just... everyone just shares. no matter where you are in your walk of life. you just share.

and just praying for one another was amazing. it really was =)

and tonight i realise how much enthusiasm i have for the youth. like really. just being a part of their lives, to stir something you know. to see them be passionate for God. for He's truely what we all should be wanting and giving all the praise. To be thankful. to be living it out for Him. wow. you know wow. and i found myself right at the beginning again. just talking about how i want to help, bringing new ideas.

they've got about 13 actively coming youth. that's not a lot to me because of where i come from. but they're there and they love God :) its time to stir up something. to work with the few, and eventually bring the good news to people out there. to start from humble beginnings. to learn to serve in the walls of the church before going out there.

its really... amazing. i still think it is. that now i'm here. and thank God that now i can be part of something so small and raw. and... just be part of the building process if i can. just... thank God for me being so enthusiastic haha really... i really couldn't stop sharing with Sean about how i was missing the sec 1s back home, the experiences back home in the youth ministry.

its time to be a part of God's awesome plans in this church =) its time to step out and do something. now, more than ever, is the time.

community, love, service. and most of all, pointing it all to God in the end.

You keep me safe in a crazy world.
