There's this weird fine line in grace. You want to be there for someone, but you can't let yourself get walked on. You've got to be able to tell them when they're messing up, but make sure that you're there for them at the end of it. How? How do you talk to someone about what they're doing and how it's affecting other people, and have them know that I still love them the same. Most people will automatically assume you're judging them, and go into defense mode. They'll think that because of all they've done they are worth less and you, or anyone else couldn't possibly care for them.
Leading students is hard. You never know what your job will be when you sign up, but somehow God makes it work out. I really hope God works this out. I know he will in some way, but selfishly I hope it's the way we're all praying for.
Alisha and I be at White Marsh Mall from 6-10:30ish tonight. Looking, hoping, waiting, praying. Stop by, call me, text me, pray for us. It'll be fine, right?
On a way lighter note, I just came across this article in Time Magazine about Rob Bell! It's kind of cool.
