I love high schoolers.
Tonight two of us played Trouble with two other youth. I don’t remember a longer game of Trouble but I do know this simple game broke the ice.
By the end of the game, we were laughing, sharing stories and making plans for tomorrow. It is so good!
To be honest, last night was a youth night and I struggled to motivate myself to meet more people. It’s month 7 on the race. The temptation to check out or want sleep more than ministry or even to just be by myself is so real.
The thought of having 4 more months after this sounds so tiring! But after tonight, God reminded me that relationships are so worth it. This race has been faith changing for me but it’s not just about me. it’s about building His kingdom one service, person or prayer at a time. Here in Serbia, it means making connections with youth and building relationships.
So, I’m still pressing in, trying to pronounce new names right, playing games and making ice cream dates. We only have one life and Jesus has blessed me SO much to be here in Serbia.
Love you all. If life feels tiring, keep pressing into the relationships right in front of you. God orchestrates everything so perfectly if we have eyes to see. Pray for me and let me know how to pray for you!
