How shallow can I be!?

I'm struggling to get back into the groove of my "mission minded" youth activities. You see, a while back the youth group and I decided that rather than movie night, game night, eat-to-much night, act-a-fool night, throw wet marshmallows night and pin-the-tail-on-the-unsaved night, we would use those times to serve the church and community, pray hard, and reach out to all. It's such a wonderful idea, teaching our kids to love unconditionally, but - Easy for them, they're not planning the activities, calling the homes, driving the van, and then taking the heat for their stupidity. It's a part of the ministry, planning. But oh how easy it is to lose focus!  It's been a while since we've gotten our hands dirty and many other activities have happened in between. Graduation is a big one. - But I believe we're ready to go!

So is this what is called burn out? I don't think so... I still have a passion to go into the office, to work on the youth publications, to hang out with the kids. But, I am so sore from the church work day. I'm dreading focusing my energies on developing a worship set for Sunday. And I know any moment now my buddy's going to be walking through my door asking for help in the Studio.

How about this: I just put it all in God's hands and see what He does. After all, He can do immeasurably more than I could ever ask or imagine... according to His power that is at work within me.
