so i went to my first bible study of the summer for the plus 20 group. I feel that I am goign to be disapointed with the group. It is not as intense as the clarion bible studies. It is all women and they do not seem very enthusiastic. Hopefully it changes. I am trying to get involved more with my church now that i have graduated and will be around more... well, after china I will. I volunteered to be a cell group leader in the fall.... not sure what I may have gotten myself into there. I also offered to help Kelly with the plus 20 group. She is a bit overwhelmed right now and I want to be a support for her. I am hoping to go to lunch with her next week, bc we really don't know eachother, and we talked tonight about how women need to form relationships to be able to trust people. I agree to an extent... someone has to be vulnerable first... here it goes...
I reall don't know what to expect out of this summer or out of life from this point out... but i am willing to take the nessesary steps to get involved and help out where needed. Believe it or not, I can be a very shy person. Especially around people I do not know very well. Although I grew up in my church (20 years!!!) I do not know many people my age. The ones I did know have left and new ones are coming, there are some of the old ones that stayed, but i didn't know them well growing up... in a youth group of 300ish kids its hard to get to know everyone.
Bottom line I am pushing my self out of my comfort zone... this will be a growing and stretching experience for me. And hopefully I will make some new friends. I doubt as good as the ones I already have, but I guess we'll see.

It is so exciting to hear that you are getting more involved in your church and in bible study! And that you are willing to put yourself out there to help. I hope that I can do that when I find a church here at home. I went to one yesterday that I really liked. It was super small, but the people were friendly, and it seems like the church supports many different ministries. I'll be praying that God will make a difference in your church and bible study through you. :) Love you!
