I'm going to lose internet before tomorrow morning. So, I'm actually posting now instead, which is why you're getting 2.
I had an awesome time on vacation. I came back excited to jump back into my ministry. And then a tragedy happened. It affected all of my youth in various ways. But, there is so much hurt that I can't fix. These are the times that youth ministry can be tough, when the questions get tough and no words that help.
So, I am grateful for this weekend when I can be surrounded by other youthworkers in a place where I feel peace. I can use this time to refuel and and find comfort so that I will be ready when I go home. I am grateful for the ways God has blessed me with people who understand what my life is all about. And, I am grateful for a husband who understands that sometimes I am not around, but he doesn't resent me for it.
There was a time I thought I wasn't going to come on this retreat. Being gone for a week and then leaving again seemed like a lot. And, it's my dad's birthday so I wanted to make sure to celebrate. But, since my parents are coming Sunday to celebrate, I decided to do the retreat. I am so glad I did since it's exactly what I needed.
So, where was God today? He knew what I needed even before me, as always.
Blessings,
Jennifer
