I love junior highers!

Last night I attended my first Jr. High night at Body Shop (our churches youth group).

I was so nervous! I didn't think I would know any of the kids, well maybe I thought I would know a couple, but not many. At our last church I knew all the regular kids (50ish of them) by name and that was important to me. Now I have to start over and the older I get the harder it is to remember things and I was sure that I would make a fool of myself-usually done by opening my mouth-and.... Oh man I had myself all worked up.

But the minute I walked in the door I felt so comfortable and welcomed by the staff that was already I calmed down a little. Then the first contact with a new student-I actually managed to put together a coherent sentence. I met several new girls and even found that I knew a few kids from my YFC club at McCulloch last year.

By the time worship started I was relaxed enough to even feel like I was in worship not just doing worship. That was probably the neatest part for me. I love to worship with teens-they are so real-they are either with it or not and when they are it is an amazing sight to behold!

I am so glad that I went last night-I really do love junior highers and I love to be able to share my Savior with them every chance I get! I can hardly wait for next week!
