Some days do you feel like the whole world or "the powers that be" are against you having you youth event be all that you know it can be?
I ran into those hurdles last week. We were kicking off a brand new series. I had a great idea for a game to illustrate the point. the band was going to rock! But as we got closer and closer to laugh day, it seemed like one break-down after another! Sound system issues, computer problems, slides not working properly, were all coming up right up to 10 minutes before show time! I commented to a leader that I was sure there was some big lesson God wanted me to learn. But the problem was I thought now was NOT THE TIME to be learning one of those "patience under fire" or " perseverance under adversity" type lessons! But then again, is there ever a "good time" to learn something like that? It seems like we get so caught up in what to TEACH as pastors that we forget that our own relationship with God is still growing. That we still need to learn some things. Becoming a teacher doesn't graduate you from being a learner. So I've resolved to learn again. To learn how to depend on God. How to persevere. How to fight apathy. And how to always be ready to learn something.
