Personal
This past week at youth was so much of the of the same, I find that I do have fun hanging out with the teens but I just don’t fill like I am making a difference, I fill like I could just not show up and nothing would really happen or miss me. For all I do is just hang out with the teens, and I don’t even know it you could call it hanging out for they are running around and I stand or seat there. I wish that I did not fill this way but I look forward to when I can leave and the only reason that I hang out there so long is to make shore that I get my time it. I really want to find a youth group next year that I can get connected with that I will be able to really help out with over just being there to be there.
What we did
This week not much changed I got there and seat outside and the kids played and then we had lesson and song some songs then we it was time to go. The big thing is they had a sing off with one of the teens, I don’t know what I am to learn for this but I think, have learned to make shore that your volunteers fill like they are really doing something for I do like body shop I just don’t fill like I am doing anything, and on Sunday is the same nothing really exciting happened just the same get there talk with some teens as they are playing then service then time to go. Maybe I am missing something but I am ready for change.

That is something i have been thinking about... the ideas of when you have volunteers in a youth group and how they need to be given responsibility or they feel like they are just showing up. I really hope you can find a youth group that will give you responsibility.
ReplyDeleteThat is something that has also been on my mind as I have been doing practicum. Every week I go and do the same things with a little change here and there, but typically I'm the one taking initiative...not the youth pastors or other staff giving me things to do. I know that for me I want to feel like I"m actually doing something because I took time out of the day to go there.
