Oh Priorities

This fall I am taking a lot of classes... ok it's only 4, but they are getting harder and I don't want to cheat myself out of studying and gaining knowledge by taking short cuts. So I'm dedicating myself to getting school done in a timely manner. But this means, that I need to say goodbye to one of the ministries I'm involved in. I was told that I have to do this by one of the mom's I babysit for. This is good. I need someone in my life challenging me like that. She also told me that I have to stop volunteering to serve at things. Ah! I don't want to. So I'm praying about which ministry to end. 

Right now I am involved on Tuesday nights at the Intern Bible study for college students who come to the Hill for an internship while they are in school. I am also involved in the youth group that meets every other Friday and some Saturdays we will do outings. I thought I was going to drop the Intern Bible Study and stay in the youth group since that was the first ministry I was involved. Plus, there are a lot changes being made and I wanted to stick around to see how the Lord is use them. With the intern bible study, I have been able to have more relationships with the girls that come and I am also seeing a lot of fruit from it. I was set on quitting the Bible study, but then on Friday after youth group. Our leader encouraged us that it would serve the youth well not to have 4 girl leaders there (we have a really really really small youth group). I walked out that night kind of confused with where the Lord might be leading me. I prayed about it all day on Saturday and am still unsure of what to do. 
And tonight, I got a call from one of the leaders at the IBS about a new girl coming to the Hill to meet up with her to do some discipling. So I'm stuck. I don't know which one to say No to. I don't want to say no to either, but I feel like I should if I really want to focus on school.

Decisions. Ah nuts.
