Is it worth it?

Wednesday and time for the teen gathering.
Neither I nor Kenneth think of ourselfs as youth leaders, but we think it's fun when a bunch of young people are coming to church! It's worth our time here.
Last week it was only three (but of course, three very precious ones), we played some games and Kenneth was asking what they're passionate about. What is it that engages? Are you taking the time to learn about and give time to what you think is important.

Yes a good question to ask yourself. How small you might think your influence in society is, one can still make a difference. And if not to make a difference for others you make a difference in you own life, knowing you have done what is right. You have followed your own heart.

And two days later, my own challenge arrived in the mail. I got a cd from a friend -Hold on. A cd that has sprung up from a passion, a burden for others. Nefarious/ Exodus Cry that produced this cd is an anti- trafficking organization.
To me it's easy to let it pass, I have no real reference points so it is difficult to understand. But at the same time you can not ignore it when you see it, read about it or listening to the lyrics of this cd. What is a far away emotion for me is real life for someone else.

"Justice will fall down like rain. He will break every chain. Don't you think for a moment He doesn't see your pain. If He can carry the weight of the world on His shoulders I know that He'll be able to carry you through There's a hope that's growin' even though it goes unspoken, there's a future that's golden, just keep on holdin' /restoratioin's for the broken, recordin' no regret. Don't give up, it's not over yet, we carry your burden in intercession, let's reflect."
