Ministry gets hectic, crazy, overwhelming, trying etc... on and on sometimes... Its amazing that God can be working in so many areas and you get to see Him at work daily in tons of positive ways and yet those couple things that are negative seem to floor you...
I almost missed a moment with some students the other night that was profound and should have hit me the minute it happened... I had the privilege of joining one of our student LifeGroups Sunday night. We were in a discussion talking about how people in America get complacent in our faith, get to comfortable with where we are at and we take for granted our freedom to worship God and meet in small groups like this without any repercussions... then one student spoke up "it drives me crazy that there are so many hurting people in the world and we do nothing about it... we play video games and think about what we are going to do on friday night and we do nothing about the people who are in need..." WOW... pondering that later I realized I have been way to focused on me, myself and I and almost missed out on a few of our students who's heart is passionate about "the least of these" and helping out people in need...
Dont lose sight of what God is calling you to do... do let yourself get in the way...
