Well I have just returned from (what Jesse has named "Lift Off")...our first Thursday, Summer Sr High event.
I had no idea what to really expect going into this...but at the end of the night I feel it went well over all....though very very very far where I hope it will end up. All in all, for the first night of this...and with fairly little planning because of work, I am pretty happy with it.
We had 16 highschool students tonite...Eventually...We bumped the time back to 8pm cuz we knew sr highs are busy in the summers with summer jobs and soccer etc......but it's still tough for them to make it by 8pm even. So I was a little anxious at 8:15 when only 3 kids were there.....but we knew more were coming who had soccer until 8:30....and than also a bunch of others showed up that were totally unexpected.....
Just means for the next one I am gonna have to make some adjustments to make sure the night runs smoother even with people showing up really late. I am always humbled to reflect on ministries I am involved in and realize...I don't have a clue what I am doing....but yet, I keep learning, and I keep realizing that I don't really matter as much as I sometimes like to think, cuz God will use me any which way I let Him....amen to that...
