Girls! Girls! Girls!

Girls! Girls! Girls! I have been thinking a lot about girls of late, but not in the way you are probably thinking. We have a youth center, called the Turning Point here at Diguna Mbagathi and I have been cracking my head recently trying to think of ways we can get the girls and young ladies from our neighborhood to be regulars at the center. Most of the events that happen under our sports ministry attract more boys than girls and this is a pretty lopsided approach to ministry. Jesus also cares about the ladies.

I am now thinking about what attracts ladies most to a place or to an event and it is dawning on me that I may actually not have the faintest clue what we should do. That's what happens when you have too many men leading a department. I have now decided to do that which I should have done from the very beginning, I am going to ask girls what we should do! Pretty simple, huh? I mean, instead of trying to decipher the mind of a woman (something men have been trying to do since creation, and failing at) and simply ask the women what they want.

In many aspects, this is what God would expect of us. Sometimes we try to do stuff with the aim of pleasing Him and yet we have no idea what really pleases Him. We should just ask! The interesting thing is, the clues to what God likes are all in the Bible. He doesn't want us to grope around trying and testing with large margins of error. He has already told us what He fancies and one great clue is in John 14:21, obedience! So now, no more nerve wracking for me, I am going to read that Bible and find out what makes God happy. In the meantime, girls please let me know what would be attractive to you as far as a youth center goes.
