I Love What I Do
August 29, 2004
Being a youth minister is pretty great.
Sure this week I've had those moments you don't want -- making a mistake, making a parent/guardian upset, only having six parents show up for the annual youth parent meeting to plan the year, etc.
But, then there are these little things that are the essence of the job --
Erin & MC tp my house the night before a heavy rain. And then leave a note on my car at church with a picture of them wrapped in toilet paper.
Natalie calls just to chat.
Nathan stops by for 30 seconds on his way somewhere, just because he could.
I get to tell dorky stories about myself in high school to the kids in Sunday school and they laugh at me.
Etc.
AND YOU'RE DAMN GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO!
