I can blame my ADD which was in full force, or the fact that I was trying some new things, or that only 13 youth showed up, but any or all of that means that youth group this past week tanked. Maybe it was fun for other folks, but for me it was a tough night.
The truth is that I find it refreshing that after 16 years of youth ministry I can still crash and burn. It reminds me that no matter how much I learn I will never know it all, there is no perfect formula, I have to keep learning, keep adapting, and Jesus still runs the show...not me.
And even in the middle of one big hot mess of a youth group, God still speaks, still moves, is still present. May God bless my messes.
