My journal notes from Fastbreak this weekend

Friday night

First session went well.  Robert Upshaw did a good job.  The worship was a good start – Scott Fitzgerald came in and did worship for me at short notice.  I was going to do it but this last week was crazy, so I punted.  Smart decision on my part.  Humbling – realizing I can’t do it all, but smart one.  Scott was a huge help and to do it on short notice shows his servant heart.

At Grace retreats we do something a bit different…instead of “worship responseâ€? time, I send them off to their life groups to talk about what God was/is doing inside them.  

Teens first of all process things better out loud, talking it out.  Second of all – it allows us as mentors to ask questions, prod, or challenge.

I haven’t heard from our coaches yet to hear what is going on but it looks and feels good.  Actually, I can’t believe how unbelievably tired I am.  The crazy week has got me and I’m going to bed.
