Youth Convention

So, I was asked to chaperone for our Youth Group when they head to the Annual Youth Convention this weekend. It's in Woodbridge at the Hylton Memorial Chapel. I am extremely excited about this. There are going to be some great bands and great speakers. The Afters (http://www.myspace.com/theafters) and Steve Fee (http://www.myspace.com/stevefee) are going to be there. You should check out some of their music.

I'm also very nervous. Will I be a pushover or too strict? Would I allow things that seem okay to me, but may not to other chaperones? For instance, it's a youth event and to keep all those hormones in check, the boys and girls are generally not permitted to ride in the same vehicle (separate vans for boys and girls). I mean how can you keep track of 15-20 sets of hands in a passenger van? Would I have considered that?

Also, I've never considered myself to be one of the "cool" people. I've always felt like I was just outside of the circle. You need to have that kind of personality to fit in with the youth. As Friday draws nearer, my butterflies get worse. I guess God feels like I can handle it. Either that, or I'm one of the people that he chooses for their weakness, so that His glory may shine through. Please pray for me!
