Well...let's try this again. Started blogging awhile back but was never consistent...probably an indictment on my crazy lifestyle. But...feel likes it's time to start again. So...a new intro.
I chose this title because I'm not your typical candidate to be doing what I do. So, I'm on the other side of "typical". I pastor youth and arts (worship, dance, art, etc.) at a fairly large church in Guatemala. So what makes this not typical? I'm a 58 yr. old mother of 6, grandmother of 20...not your typical youth leader. I think of my life as a prophetic statement...as much to my generation as it is to the next. My body is aging, but my heart is young. I feel the need to release a generation on one hand, and with the other to mother/father them. I feel caught in the middle of a transition that the church desperately needs to make but doesn't know how to. So I model something different in the church from the aspect of leadership: I spend my energies raising up a new generation of leaders and releasing them to learn, to grow, make mistakes, and grow some more.
More thoughts on this to come...
