Landmark tonight was cool – don’t know why I ever got worried! It reminded me that working with young people is a real privilege, as is any form of ministry.

The event was lively as you would expect but quiet at relevant moments. Sarah ended the session with a reflective time and I was amazed at how many young people stayed in the room after the session had closed. There was no question that this group of people, a totally mixed bunch from different schools, different parts of town, different aspirations, different ways of doing things all had one desire – to know more of God and to let God have more of them.

The potential in the group was outstanding. I ws struck with a both exciting and scary thought – the power these young people hold to change their community is immense, and I guess our task is to help them realise that so they can choose to use it, or not.

I feel again that it is great to be a youth worker! I was also proud – I think the group and how they relate to each other has something to do with the structures and support Sarah has put in place.

Well … I’m off to bed now as the reality of needing to be in Nottingham by 10 tomorrow hits me with that reminder that the alarm will be sounding at 530.

I had a couple of emails today wishing me well and assuring me of your prayers – thanks guys and girls, it was really very much appreciated!
