Week 7

MINISTRY ACTIVITIES
This week was way less hectic and busy than last week. I would say that is a good thing, but to be honest i kind of miss that. This week was back to normal. I was at church doing ministry for around 6 hours this week. I was doing anything from leading small groups, leading in prayer, leading in games/activities, and talking with the students building relationships with them. This was a much more normal week, which was bad, but i kind of missed hanging out with the students a lot. But it was good to be back in the local church.

REFLECTION ON MINISTRY
This week was good to be back in the normal swing of ministry. Even though like i mentioned earlier, i did miss spending a lot of time with the students. It made me think that i need to take advantage of the time that i do get with the students and not take it for granted. The more i get involved and get into the lives of each of these students the more i miss them and want to graaduate so that i can be a part of ministry on a full time level every week. I feel as if i am ready to be in ministry now, so its hard to wait. But i know that i have too!

SPIRITUAL REFLECTION
This week spiritually was neither good nor bad. It was one of those in the middle weeks. So therefore, i think that it was bad. Because if i am not growing i think it is bad. I continued to read through james, but i didn't particularly grow that much, so it was dumb. Please pray that this become easier for me to be more intentional with my own relationship with Jesus Christ. Thanks!

  1. Learning and growing goes in spurts. There are often flat line times. However, you must continue to press forward so that you are ready when the next climb comes. If you give up and stop, you'll never reach the next area of growth. Keep digging into God's Word and spending time with Him!!

  2. Yeah going along with what Melissa said there are bound to be the ups and downs in any ministry, times that just seem so packed with awesome things, and those slower times. THe thing is in both areas God is still working in awesome ways!
