Well, Guess What?!?!?! I am not perfect! LOL Well we all new that but I think I hit a new low today! LOL
Youth Ministry is not my calling! This isn't going to sound loving or Christ-like at all, but whatever ... it is what it is and it is where I am. Tonight kicked off our new junior high ministry, which I must admit I was excited about because my son was so excited about it. I had been asked by our pastors to be on the leadership of this group, which I agreed to. I was totally fine until the kids were running around acting all crazy and stuff. There were lots of them, it was dark ( we were doing a bonfire outside ) and I only knew about half of the kids. Granted there was another adult out there but it was still chaotic. In the first ten minutes I had been talked back to twice. Then one of the kids started wrestling one of the other kids. I yelled at two of the guy volunteers to break it up. Less than five minutes later the same kid jumped on my son - who is about half of his size.
Now anyone with kids would understand that I was at this point fairly near to wanting to belt this young man from here to next Tuesday. Obviously that wouldn't happen, but MY GOODNESS it was rough!
Later on as the evening went on the same kid ended up jumping off of the playground equipment in the dark and injuring his ankle. Did I volunteer to pray for him. No I did not. Not because I was angry or anything. It just didn't even occur to me to pray for him. I was so far away from God at that moment I couldn't even hear Him. I was too busy being overwhelmed by the situation.
So, now it's time to do some repenting I suppose. Good Night...
