I really dislike our youth group, and I could rant for a long time on that. The only thing that keeps me coming back is small group, and even that bond strains from time to time when we don’t really talk about God.
But, Winter Camp. I leave in seven minutes. Since I’m a senior this year, I go up early with all the other seniors (I seriously don’t get why seniors think they’re so great or why we get special treatment). I’m not looking forward to the bus drive because the seniors are seriously so immature.
I thought maybe that’s how all high schoolers are (thus lowering my expectations for all my peers), but a bunch of the high school students at my community college have been doing a Bible Study together and they go deep and can be mature.
Anywho.
I have low expectations for the content of the retreat.
I’m more looking forward to any time I can snatch to have with God. I’m trying to figure out how often I can wander off without being too rude. 🙂
So here are my goals as I seek God this weekend:
To seek God’s will in my college decision. I read Just Do Something recently, which was really helpful, but I do want to pursue God in every aspect of my life.
To pray and prepare for the middle school retreat next week.
To work on praising God and developing intimacy with him to carry on the rest of the year and the rest of my life.
And now I need to go! Technically I’m supposed to be at church in one minute. Oops.
