Youth Group 3 hours
Personal Reflection:
What a great night! I love being with the kids, it was good to see them again. It has been awhile since we had break. So tonight I got to talk to those two girls that I have been talking about. I got to know a lot about them, and I learned to just be quiet and let then talk. I ask how their Thanksgiving went and what they did. They said with a sigh “we just stayed home, we didn’t go anywhere.” So I tried to add some humor and asked if they cooked the turkey, and my humor was successful, they giggled a little.
After some small talk of finding out a little about their family life and that they do school independently on their own with no supervision. I ask about the message tonight and what they thought, or what did people talk about in their small group (Occasionally we break out into small groups, by grade, after the message to discuss). They didn’t really know what to say… so I briefed on what our small group discussed… I could go into it but I won’t, I just want to say that I have been working on being more personal with students, and tonight I feel that I accomplished something.
Personal Reflection:
You would think that this week I would be super stressed and not be happy because of all the work I have. But that is not how it is… I am happy and cheerful. I have tons of work still to do, specially the exegesis for Dave Smith. Even through all of the work I can still say praise God for the snow and everything. So that is that!!!

Learned to be quiet and let them talk...is that a lesson for dealing with teens or women? ha ha. That's something I've been learning as well. Another task is trying to learn how to slowly and carefully join in the concersation so that I don't dominate it but so they can feel like they know me as well.
Yay exegesis for Dave Smith!!!
