thus begins the search for something greater, a real love for herself as she was created.

May you find and take everything from the writings of a girl who is still searching.

Youth Pastors and Blessings.

Last night i needed God , and i need security, as i took 30 youth to the Cochrane Bowling Alley, to go Superhero Bowling.
It was so frusterating to see people forget something so important. That we need to respect everywhere we go, respect it like God's house, not just a bowling alley in the middle of no where.
I felt responsible for this lasting impression we were creating, and it wasn't a good one. It wasn't one that any one should be proud of, and it all fell onto me.
As Christians, should we not strive to show God's love, to everyone, and everywhere we go? I felt like the fact we are Christians was forgotten, the fact that we are called to love, was thrown in the garbage on the way in.
We should be the ones leaving a good lasting impression , something that they remember, and are thankful for.
But sometimes people get caught up in the moment, and suddenly it back fires on us, and we make stupid mistakes.
As i sat and prayed, i realised that this wasn't the night God intended us to have, and as i cleaned up 30 cups and bowls of popcorn on the floor, i felt anger, and frusteration, both feelings, are feelings i hate feeling, so i gave it up to God and got on the bus. Still frusterated.
Then the bus driver, made an announcement, that she thought i did a great job, and bought me candy, and i felt a lift in spirit. She blessed me, it was crazy, that a BUS DRIVER, whom i had met a few times, and loved, could sense that i just needed that.
We need to remember, that we need to live each day to please God, and to show his love everywhere we go.
What a stressful night, and to think, this is what i wanna do for the rest of my life.
