In the city

At my Bible Study, a friend of mine came and shared about some transitions that are taking place in her life. She is in ministry full-time and was working with high school students, but is now going to be working more with business professionals through a new ministry that believes that if cities can change, it will have a significant impact on the rest of the world. This will be a great new place for her to be.

Some of the guys in our Bible Study were asking her about how she would meet high-schoolers because she is 30-something (but doesn't look like it). She shared about her small groups, meeting with them, talking about boys at her high-school Bible Studies, etc. It was so funny because at the end of the evening, what did us girls start talking about? Boys of course. As long as girls are meeting together in groups, or even one-on-one, they will be discussing boys...no matter their age.

My friend in ministry is still single, but is desperately trying to expand her circle of friends so that she can meet someone. Our church is so small and there aren't a lot of thirty-somethings who come. Gen X is still missing in action in the small church community here. So I'm going with her (as long as her other friend can't make it) to the Air Show at Miramar and her hope is that she can meet some guys.

I decided that I would pray for her for this. It is a significant concern of her heart, and I know that she is frustrated.
