I was 15 years & my Youth Worker said I was too much trouble

At 15 years my Youth Worker said I was too much trouble

Hey Hey and hello from me.

I am writing to you not knowing you, 

your culture

your challenges 

your work context.

people/youth work context 

your ........ everything!

If we were physically together 

I would be reading your face,

which delivers 55% of your communication.

Also your words and body language, 100% of your unique communication.

If we could talk, 

look into each others eyes and 

beautifully connect -

that would be wondrous.

But at the moment I will carry on 
clicking these keys and

When I was 15 years old my Youth Worker called me to one side

and said I had to go.

I was too much trouble and 

the staff and young people couldn't manage me.

The there was a pause - 

'If you want to stay we want you to be the leader

of these 15 boys'? 

You guessed it - I became a leader at 15 

and loved the responsibility.

When I was 21 years old I became a Christian.

I could never understand how God loved me

but I wanted the best life to live - 

so I sold out to her.

This is a quick scan through a few of my life experiences, 

the next being,

Mrs Beautiful and me married when she was 21 and I was 25.

Within one year of that massive event, 

(I could never understand why she loved me),

we had sold our home and moved into a 

Residential Special School for Young Offenders.

All boys committed by the courts - 

and we became their Houseparents.

Since then we have worked for many years in a number of projects.

All of them with beautiful young humans with special needs

in special needs housing projects including teenage street gangs.

I want to share a few stories

with you about the journey 

and my current work.

My stumbling and fumbling journey into living out faith on the frontiers 

and not at all in a church context.

I write and share stories about young lives and their - and my struggles. 

I feel with them in their situations. 

I work and yearn to understand them and want for them deeply. 

I, like you, think that violence and aggression is totally unacceptable - 

absolutely horrific much of it,

I have lived with it all my life and

I hate it - 

but that is not enough. 

It is all so very sad.

Very very sad. 

"We can see a persons behaviour 
but we can't see their journey"

I love these young humans - 
not always their behaviour

but love them love them - 
they are beautiful humans.

I struggle to understand.

I strive to understand.

There are ways to see beyond behaviour.

That means getting intimate.

It means getting so close 
that there is 100% trust in one another.

I do that - try.

I want to tell you how I do it - try

AND by telling you ....
... I learn also myself.

My NEW book is full of stories about my discoveries - feelings 

as I work with beautiful humans

with a passion to see them self determine a different life for themselves. CLICK THE RED TEXT.

That's some of me here.

So full of feelings and trying to understand them.

Yearning to become .............
