memories of unlove make me cringe. 1.

Transforming into a person of Christ is hard work. It is difficult and painful but it is worth it. I am forever reflecting on who I used to be, often cringing at times where I have shown little humility, tact, wisdom, patience, contentment with money or relationships, self-regulation, which I can sum up all in one word:

Unlove.

Take my hand - I want to share with you the times in my life I would pay any amount of money to erase and re-do...


1.

I was a youth group leader at my home church for about a year. On my second or third week, they interviewed me to properly introduce me to the youths:
B - What do you do when you're not leading YG on Friday nights?
J - I study filmmaking at Mac Uni and I'm an aspiring musician who is doing gigs around Sydney... (some kids laugh)
J - .. excuse me, are you finished? I'm talking here.

Why I cringe: Does it have to be said that I'm an "aspiring muso"? And how I handled the talking youths! Terrible!
