I admit. I've been inactive lately in church because of some conflicts in my schedule at school. I've pretty much ignored church stuffs because I was too preoccupied with school stuffs. But then I remembered--through Kuya Shuhab's letter--that I've been pretty much inactive as a part of the core group.
The letter he gave me was simply provoking. I feel ashamed and guilty not because I'm part of the core group, but because I'm starting to be an irresponsible leader. I asked sorry from Kuya Shuhab, but actually I'm still bothered. The best part about the letter was very encouraging. I know, I still have the chance to make it up to God, to the core group and to all youth members.
This second half of the year, I'll do my best.
Aside from that, I've been praying to God to learn how to get used to the new youths in church. I'm asking from God the strength to love them despite our differences. Since that I'm one of their ates already--which I find very unusual. Hehe. I used to be one of them before, I also had my set of ates, but then they've grown already, haha! I mean, they have their own jobs, so... they just come to visit us from time to time.
I really am missing those old times. But people grow. That's why discipleship existed. I confess, even though I am a leader, I am still under repair. And about our discipleship class, I REALLY NEED IT. Kuya Shu's right. He can't do it alone without our cooperation--that's why God placed us to be his right hand.
Since I was encouraged, I'm encouraged too, to encourage you.
Do well in your ministries and don't take it for granted just because you're busy! :)
