Week One

Fundraiser Dinner: 1 hour
Youth group: 3 hours

Personal Reflection:Wednesday night we just watched a Rob Bell video because the fundraiser went into youth's time. This was my first time back to youth group at Brookhaven in three semesters; it felt real good to see the kids again. It was emotional a little bit because I made relationships with these kids back in the day and coming back, they were happy to see me, but wondering why I haven't been there in so long. it made feel like I left them, I mean none of the kids said that but inside that is how I felt. Because I was there, then I left and now I am back. I mean I wanted to keep with the youth but I couldn't make time. There isn't really much more to say than that, I mean we just watched a movie. actually I did get to sit down with several youth and eat before youth group, that was fun. I got to joke with the kids a little and befriend a couple students. I am really working hard this year to remember everyone’s name, in the past I get their name but focused too much on giving them my name and forget their name right after it.

Spiritual Reflection:This week my head has been spinning like crazy, I just got all my book, and am still trying to figure out all my big assignments for the year. My God life has been very slow. Summit helped, but because of some late practices with the track team I didn't get to go to the night Summit. I really wish I would have been able to because it is Summit that sets me where I need to be, but I missed it this semester and I am hurting because of it.

Rob Bell? Rob Bell?!?! You better watch it with that "emergent heresy" you are teaching those students.

I know what you mean feeling like you abandoned them. I know I have left my fair share of ministries to be a part of something else (mostly school). They remember you though and miss you...They remember you by how you accepted them, not by the fact that they left you.
It would only be a problem if they remembered you and seemed indifferent or closed off to you.

When was the last time you were with them?
