Awkward feelings?

We see behaviour and we feel an instant dislike.
We feel scared or awkward or take an immediate dislike.
We have lots of Young people who are and here use school words
`farmed out`.
This is because they are difficult in school
but in the youth environment we have little if any real problems.
It is hard to explain to teachers how this happens!
Or for myself cannot always understand
why it is so different!
poor teaching anyone (not just a neat sentence)?
it could be down to the voluntary relationship we have,
down to prayer support,
down to good management
about the way they behave.
Or we just put prejudice away and accept them as BHP.


Emotional Literacy is a much used expression these days,spiritual awareness would fit here also.but it mainly about the understanding,
reading, and managing our emotions.Those feeling within us and how they sometimes effect how we feel outwardly.
Emotional resilience is becoming an issue youth workers are concerned about as our awareness develops.

In the youth work l have tried to deliver/practice the relationship is the key 
Sometimes l feel strongly aware of how l am feeling when first encountering young person or a group
this has to be handled/felt through.
Jesus ministry was all about encounters
relationships,
social interaction.

Mostly we just don't quite grasp how precious this thing called faith is.

 Do you like myself, sometimes  long for understanding. For a sense of wholeness. For a way to gently weave bringing together what we believ...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
