Youth Group 3 hours
Personal Reflection:
There are these two very quiet girls in the youth, they are sister. They like to sit on their own and not join in with the other group, I think they feel intimidated. Well I try to be with them when I can and get them to participate in the events, well the youth was playing kick ball and so I invited to go play, they were not interested, but I got them to come and watch with me. Things were silent, so I started asking whatever questions I could think of, to get a conversation rolling. We started talking, I got to know a little about there home life and things they like to do. I sort go to asking why they don’t like to participate in the events, and they said that they don’t like to talk to anyone, and that they don’t like friends… … Hmm… what I am to do with that. These are really nice girls and I think they have just got a bad impression on who friends are, and I want them to be able to have other people to talk to; especially other Christian girls. These girls need prayer; I feel that if they do not connect with someone, they will have no one to pour into their life
I played one on one with Seth Turcot, a student in the youth; it was good times, I felt like I was connecting and building a relationship. Later others joined and a game of twenty-one started, what a blast! I got elbowed in the nose… but I am ok… thanks for asking… After Basketball I asked several of the guys if they wanted to join me at IWU for Fat meal because I have plenty of swipe left over that I need to use, but it didn’t work out, maybe next week.
Spiritual Reflection:
I feel like my work load has decreased, I am happier and my brain recognizes that I need to be praying more for this and this. I guess you can say that I become more compassionate and caring when I am not overloaded and stressed with work. I wish it didn’t have to be like that, but I definitely realize how many things I don’t care to give attention when I have stuff on my plate.

Wow, man, I don't know what to do with that. I think you're right that they have a bad impression of what friends are like. Are their other solid girls in the ministry that you could encourage to go talk with them instead of you? Maybe they need to have girls make friends with them before they can make friends themselves.
I think I become less compassionate when I have less to do, just because my brain starts shutting down. well, my work load continues to increase...it is good to hear you are doing well, continue to pray. That will be a big blessing to your youth.
