sitting here, not content, and wondering what is next? our church is calling a DCE, and i have mixed feelings in how the whole process is playing out…
these are just my feelings and opinion, but i need to get it out:) our church, ever since we have been there, has struggled to have a vibrant active youth group… i can’t imagine being in a church like this,…with myself having young kids. we were blessed… in that ,when our kids were of the age… they needed to be in a youth group, we were in a church, that had an active youth group…. i just want for all the kids to be able to have this same experience!
but for whatever reason, this is not the case at Grace… we have a call committee that is coming to us next week, with a recommendation, from things i’ve heard, the recommendation they are giving us is not, what their focus started as, after hearing a comment from one of the members of the call committee…..
youth is not one of his strong points…. i freaked to say the least!
really why are we going down this road? and now i question God, are we supposed to trust they have done their work, and go and support their choice? i really don’t know if i have the energy to question them, and stand up and voice my concerns, all i want in the end… is for the youth of this church, to be able to bond and experience an awesome youth program, and grow together in their faith, and in their love for the Lord and each other:)
then i go back to feeling like, why bother, which i know in my heart that is not the way to feel, but we will most likely… not be there to see how this all plays out anyway, so why should i be so concerned, and worried when it seems like the ones that it is going to effect the most, are not concerned????
Lord please give us the direction we need at Grace and be in the decision that is going to be made
AMEN
P.S. Lord, be with a friend who needs you today:)
