Youth Pastor Daniel

on Friday, January 23, 2009

Well, after much waiting, Daniel is now officially the youth pastor at our church. We have taken this on, and God is really blessing out youth group. We have seen alot of new faces just in the last couple weeks. We have alot of events coming up, Worth the Wait Lockin, a Valetines Banquet for couples (if anyone is interested in coming let me know), Girls Retreat, and many fundraisers for youth camp. So be prepared for postings of fundraisers, seeing if anyone is interested.
But I am thankful we are now finally official.... Gods really doing alot in us and the youth group. I think its good for many of them to finally have someone they can call their youth pastor. Its pretty much been 3 years since they have had one. There was one for a short period of about 5months in there, but he didnt work out. Justkeep us in your prayers, me especially... have any of you guys ever pictured me, a PREACHERS WIFE? I said crap the other day in the microphone, and I was like Oh Lord, what have you done by putting me here?? Im just not your typical pastors wife, I lack the etiquette and class I guess you could say? Im not perfect, and have a lot of flaws. Gods going to have to do a major work with cleaning me up for good presentation, haha.

A little sad today......

I dont know why, but today Im feeling a baby bit sad. Its weird how life changes. How aftr marriage some things just arent the same. Your friends slowly drift away... their lives slowly dont include you. They slowly move on, and need you less and less. It would be easier if I knew I just completely hadnt reached out to them and tried to continue hanging out and being friends, but its harder when you realize theyve peaced you out because they dont have what you do. That they have peaced you out simply because they dont understand marriage bc they are still single. Because they dont like being the third wheel, or simply because they have single friends to hangout with. How can something that simple define a friendship? How can something as easy as not being so dern egocentric and focusing on their own insecurities because they are still single completely change a friendship?? Yeah, maybe on my end there are some differences because I cant just up and go to their house at 3 am like before... but I am still the friend I used to be. The more and more as our marriage goes on, I realize how much of a friend I have in Daniel. Hes there for me, has fun with me, makes me smile, is there for me when Im sad... Thats a friend. And apparently is all I can really count on these days... Marriage does change things, is shows you the friends you really have.


(Sorry if this seems cranky, Im just sick of my marriage being the blame for the change in friendships when its really deeper than that)

I love my new job!!!!

So my first week has gone really well! I love it there.... its been kinda slow bc no one knows exactly what I am suppose to be doing to train me (the girl who was there before me was suppose to but she hasnt come back???) So Im learning little bits at a time... But I love it none the less, each day I realize even more all the reasons God has me there. I see a future at this place and have a feeling God has me there to be a big part! This is totally my heart and something God has called me to do.
So continue to pray, that I finally have daily tasks that I will be busy with :)
