Forgotten

So it's been close to 4 years since I used this blogspot and I feel guilty about it. I have done so many things and things have changed so much in that span of time that I feel like I should have kept up. But another side of me thinks that not telling everything to the world is ok. Yeah, this blog was forgotten for a while, but I will just continue to post periodically about my ministry and what is going on.

And there is a question that has ringing in my head for the last few days. I started/continued to read a book by Simon Synek "Start with WHY" and it has opened a few thoughts. One of them is the question, "why do I do what I do?".  I usually know WHAT I do and HOW I do it, but many times I tend to forget WHY I do in Youth ministry.

I know that many would say that that is a dumb question, but really, think about it. Many times we forget WHY we do things because WHAT we do becomes the theme and the topic of discussion that it becomes so normal to not talk about the WHY!!! I know that I do what I do because I want people, young people to come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ. But WHY? Because I believe that Jesus is everything they need or will ever need. And by knowing Jesus they will find happiness and love and acceptance and they will in turn change the world in the right way!!!

It's also known that people who know the WHY of their call are more effective in reaching and moving others, not because they are extremely good, but because their WHY speaks louder than whatever they are doing.

So, what is your WHY for what you do?
