just some thoughts

Time seems to pass by so quickly, I am very much enjoying going outside after dinner time and it still being light, hearing the little birds outside my window in the morning, seeing an almost blue colour in the sky and of course that nice big yellow circle that makes the heat levels bareable!!

At the moment life is going far to fast but I am managing to keep up mostly. We have been struggling a bit with getting things to come together, just when something looks like it will work or should be easy enough something comes and puts a spanner in the works. I have been getting very frustrated with this cycle happening over and over, it can make you feel very unproductive. However I am learning to adapt better!

Somthing that I am now learning to live with is, no matter how well planned the program may be the real youth work happens on the walk home! We have taken to standing outside on the way home talkng with the young people we have at the youth group as we walk home. We also have an open door at the church when we are there and some of them drop by to visit. It seems that much more of the relationship happens in these times. I don't know why it surprises me, i was the same. I guess I am realising that being program focused is not as productive as being relationship focused, even though it feels much more productive.

Well I will leave you with those thoughts, if you have any wisdom to share please do share.
