Every time we have a youth event or even church I am getting a massive headache.
Why am I getting headaches? Well, it has to do with how I am being treated by the people of the church. I love them, they seem to love me, but I am just getting overwhelmed by their constant talking to me.
Here is the scene that practically kills me each week. Light Force will end at 8:30 PM. About half of the students and their parents will leave within a few minutes, but about half of them will all want to hang out in the room. Great right? Yes it is great. But then 2-3 students at a time will ask me questions, tell me about their weeks, ect. Of course, I love this interaction and would relish in it if it were done in a quiet and organized way… But all of them are talking to me at the same time.
One student will tell me about their weeks events. A parent will interrupt to ask me about an event. Another student will chime in about something random. Another student will want to tell me about a picture… And the original student still wants to talk about their week. It leaves me absolutely spinning when they finally do leave.
It is normal over the last 2-3 months that I get home utterly overwhelmed by this. I don’t want to talk to the kids. (Who desperately need their daddy!) I don’t want to talk to Kristen. (Who desperately needs her husband!) All I want to do is vegetate and watch TV or escape to the basement to browse the internet aimlessly.
Dear God, please help me find a way to solve this problem. I love these people, but the headaches are a headache. Help me to find a way to minister to Your people and still want to go home and be with my family.
