It always takes me a couple of days to process a trip. And since everyone’s sick around my house that couple of days became a week. But here it is the long awaited Middle School Rock n’ Roll weekend roundup.

First off, this trip was different from the get go. The Lord had been working with me on the recruitment process. Usually I stress and keep after kids to turn in their money and parent slips for the trip. Typically since they are Middle Schoolers, we have a 50% return rate for those who are “really-really” interested, to who actually shows up. So I took a step back. No hounding. No calling. Just prayer, be laid back and give it up to the Lord.

The results were amazing. Besides the fact that I wasn’t stressed out going into the trip. I had to actually turn away kids because we were booked. I know it’s a simple concept, leaning on the Lord, but why can’t I get it! I somehow prefer suffering. So needless to say this was a good start. (to be continued…)
