Loving Even When it's Hard

There is a woman leader this week who is just a bit difficult. She is a finicky eater and likes things just so. It has already made it kind of difficult on us as a team who are trying to figure out this whole leading thing still. After only s day, we all each had our stories of how she had made one of our tasks harder. After a little ranting, Chase stopped us and said that this isn’t helpful. That we need to change our mindset about her and we need to love her. He reminded us that there would only be one way to do that, through prayer. It is a good thing for us to realize at the beginning of this summer because there are going to be some students we don’t like, some leaders we don’t like, and even some community members who are crabby and unappreciative. When all this comes up, we are called to love, and love, and love, as Jesus loves us. This summer is all about loving, and Jesus even told His disciples that it wasn’t hard to love those who are easy to love but what sets us apart is showing love to those others don’t find it easy to love. The Lord blessed us though this week with ten other leaders that are incredible!! I will be adding pics and describing the site I am working on whenever my next break will be tis week.. I am be beckoned into the sanctuary for some praise practice now.
