i think part of the problem is maybe we just need a leader. someone that will keep us accountable. someone to make the initiative so we can follow. my original thought was that we can all be leaders, all be equal and just lead each other. but i realized that was what we did in BASIC and though we had our ups, this year was kind of wasted because we didnt have a strong leader to, i guess, guide us and keep us on track. i know sometimes no one wants to step up because it feels that you are being too "in charge" and powerful. like you dont want feel that you are good enough to "lead" us. i know i definitely felt like that before. but being that leader actually be doing everyone a favor. every group needs a leader. and if somebody ever feels like they are capable, forget about the feeling of "over powering" and just step up. and we, being the non leaders, shouldnt feel shy or worried about correcting or commenting on what we like or dont like about what they are doing. we should speak up if we feel something is wrong and none of it should be held personal. because even leaders make mistakes and they can drive things the wrong way and its up to us to support him/her and let them know. its mutual contribution in order for it to work efficiently.

yeah..

I agree with Tim-- what are we doing now?

I had a dream last night that nobody showed up to the next planning meeting, so I just baked cookies instead...

(Correct me if I'm wrong but) I think I heard that no date was set for the next meeting? But is that the only reason why we haven't done anything for almost a month now? Because it seems like it would be really easy to just choose a date and a place. andddddd, in that case, is it too late to do anything? :( It's probably too late to plan an all-school rally during the school year. But are there things we can do? I'd hate to think that this whole thing just sort of dies just because we forgot to say when the next planning meeting would be. Maybe we can keep updating each other and sharing prayer requests through email? Or through BLOG?

just throwing some thoughts out there.
