life is so crazy. I was "doing ministry" today, just hangin' out with a troubled friend of mine, when I realized..."don't think of the right thing to say or do...just be with him!" So that's what I tried to do. Kill the "but what if's..." and "just be."

The cool thing was that God did his thing. I stepped out of the way and he stepped in and did his thing. I wonder how often "in ministry" we control and limit over and over again what God is trying to do by simply trying too hard. I wonder if it would do more good for the person (and the Kingdom as well) if we simply took aim to "be with people." Am I off base???
