Conference. Online.

A day at home today for YFC conference instead of a week in Blackpool meeting face to face. It’s so hard having not seen the big YFC family for over two years now, hard not to feel disconnected. And online is just a poor reflection of gathering together.

However, the plus side was a seminar with one of my absolute youth work heroes, Rachel G. The inspiration for me getting into youth work 17 years ago. What a legacy to be still as vibrant and energetic as she was 17 years ago.

But yeah, not a patch on real conference.

Phone call from school today to prepare me in advance for a very hard session with my mentee tomorrow plus asking if I can keep her during the lunch time too, so she’s away from others. One an a half hours to keep a distressed teenager on track is going to be an interesting challenge. Praying for wisdom and insight.
