Last night, some of the college girls at church had a movie night at our sunday school teacher's house. There was only 5 of us, plus her so it was really just a small, last minute thing, but it was lots of fun! We watched 500 Days of
Summer, it was actually really good! I was confused for a few minutes, but I think I figured it out! ha! We ate lots of popcorn, and m&m's and just enjoyed hanging out!
We got to talking about church and our group the "college kids", as we've been labeled. There isn't anyone who currently has a heart for our age. ( i think i talked a little about this when i mentioned our new bible study..) We're currently under the "student ministry" and the Youth pastor is our "leader" if you wanna call him that. I, along with many others, don't feel like we as college students should be under the youth pastor. he's the youth pastor for a reason. He tried, and I give him credit for that, but there was no way he could have taught youth and college simultaneously. It just doesn't work. Since we were meeting on Thursday's and the Youth had their regular wednesday night's service, we all went to youth and our Thursday nights as well. They finally decided to merge college and youth together, but that doesn't really work either. There isn't a way that you can preach or teach a message to 6th graders who are worried about puberty and bullies taking their lunch, and to someone who is in the middle of their college career and trying to figure out which path in life to take. I'll admit, as will everyone else, we all agreed that merging was an okay idea at the time. It was set up a little bit, and we all thought that everyone else agreed with it, and we were kind of put on spot, but now we've "had a change of heart" if you will, and we want separation. I enjoy the Youth services, so that we can connect with the youth, and let them know that they can come talk to any of us college kids about anything, but I don't want to be considered a youth, we're young adults.
Most of us have many areas that we all are ministering in, such as the nursery, kids alive, and youth. If the only time we're getting fed is during sunday school, we can't continue to minister to others effectively. I have such a current passion for someone to "lead" us, as young adults. I've been praying so hard that God would send us someone, or either prepare someone's heart to have a passion for us! I know that He has a plan, and it will all work out in his timing, but I really feel like we are being held back. I think as a collective group, we could grow so much deeper, if we had the "right leader" ministering to us. I know that He has so much instore for us, and I know that He has the right person for us, we just all have to be patient for His timing to work out.
There are currently four of us, praying daily that God sends someone with a passion for us. If you get the chance, praying with us will most certainly be appreciated. I know God has big plans for us!
