Jens Blog :-)

It feels like it's been forever since I last wrote in here...Not much has really happened...except I've done a lot of thinking about our Youth service on Sunday. The subject was "Why do bad things happen?" During parts of the talk I was litterally fighting tears...and I didn't really know why. I mean, yeah, some bad things have happened...but still...I dunno. Then we got in our small groups, and that's the part that I've really been thinking about. We had to write down something bad that's happened in our own life...and what was kind of weird was...I couldn't think of anything. I mean, really, what's happened in MY life that's been bad? Nearly everything I worry and stress about is about someone else, not me. So my conclusion is that I should feel really lucky that nothing seriously bad has happened in my life...especially after seeing so many others go through really hard things...and I should be gratefull for all the good things in my life. The other part of Youth I keep thinking about is our discussion of how we shouldn't do what we want to do, but what God wants us to do. But...what if you think you know what God is telling you to do...and...well...this sounds pathetic, but what if you think it's too hard? I mean...I feel like he keeps giving me things to help me through tough times...and as much as they help...what if it makes you too miserable?
