A homework assignment from the project girl!
Ok, I just have one question for you guys.... I've been talking to some Kaleo 2's lately, and I'm just wondering... how many of you are still struggling with 'life after kaleo' I know some of the girls have recently realized that they have not been communicating because it's hard or... I'm not sure what hte exact phrasing is, but I was wondering... honest opinions now, who still has issues with finding thier place, wanting to be elsewhere, and unhappy with ministry, ect in your church, ect. I know we have the added emotional demention of loosing one of our class that the other classes won't (hopefully) have to deal with but I just kinda wanted to know, what are we still struggling with in this respect, let's find out, and let's see if there is a pattern... can we give this a try? I'm really just curious and hearing what some of the Kaleo 2's are going through fits what I went through last year to a T... we'll call it research. Wow! can you tell I'm doing better! I'm already scheming and dreaming and giving you extra homework assignments. I've been absent to long! it's good to feel liek I'm finally starting to be myself again! (watch out this may mean more little 'assignments' but it may also mean I will get your video's done sometime in the next year! lol oh dear! I'm not making any promises!)
Take care my friends! I miss and love you lots!

Life after Kaleo hard?
Here's my 2 cent's
Is life after Kaleo hard? Yep, it sure is..........but that's not a bad thing! Please look in the Bible and find me one time, one time when Jesus told us that hard things were bad, or that as a Christian we will have an easy life............are you looking................Let me save a lot of time and tell you that - IT DOESN'T EXSIST, Jesus never said or taught that sort of stuff! Infact he taught us quite the opposit. He said as Christians we will face many trials and be persecuted, he said life WOULD be hard. AHHH! But NEVER FEAR! He has promised to always be with us!
So for me, yap life after Kaleo was hard for a wile to adjust and stuff. It was hard to get used to a new community of friends who didn't talk about Jesus all the time or to live in the secular world again. But the best thing I did was get myself back in Ministry. Once I started with THRIVE nad being a youth leader, I got to bussy to yearn for life like it was in Kaleo, You see ministry helps us focus on other people and not ourselves. To see God as he works in the Big Picture, how he works in the world and not JUST our own lives!
Seccond Question: How many p[eople struggling right now have not gotten really connected to the church or to a ministry?
I'm guessing a lot!
So to conclude, Yah life after Kaleo is hard, But Kaleo was a green house, we grew and got sent out! The worst thing that could happen now would be for everyone to dwell on how good it was @ kaleo and not try to re-create their own little kaleo communities in their own towns or thru their own ministries. THAT IS THE WORST!!!!! (That's what I'm trying to do with my pre-teen youth group-create a minni Kaleo FOR THEM!)
Remember how gold get's purified, it goes thr FIRE , Fire is hard and hurts, but look at how lovely of a product it creates!
Ok that's enough of my babbeling on!
Love you guys!
hAHAHAH did I answer your questions Amber? Glad your feeling like yourself again!
God Bless!

i don't know if that was quite what she was asking... its a great answer but i donno if it answered the question
ya, as much as what you have said has hit me and I need to think about/deal with it too... but our dear anonymous (whoever it may be) is right that's not what I was asking. Really, I want to know what it is that we all deal/dealt with after Kaleo so that Jim can better prepare the next generations, so we can see if there are patterns, so that it's not a suprise when they leave Kaleo that they might be dealing with some of this. I know that I have heard myself and others a sense of betrayal cuz we didn't expect this... whatever this is for each of us. This is not me trying to wallow and live in the past (though I have had a looooong! cry today and a crappy day) it's just simply to look for similarities, patterns.
