Confessions of an Average Youth Minister



Random Thoughts

Proud Yet Crying

My sister is leaving for Africa in 4 days. She and her 3 little boys and her wonderful husband will all be going to live in Africa. I haven’t really talked about it on Nailscars.com, so I wanted to mention it before she goes. I have to say that I am more proud of her and her husband than I have ever been in my life. Their dedication to take God’s call to “follow me” is something that amazes me.

At the same time I know that I will miss having them around. I haven’t written about it much here because thinking about them living on another continent hurts my heart. But I know that if they stay here they will be miserable so I am very glad that they are going. They are an inspiration to me and my whole church.

I don't have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don't have any of the answers. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I don't always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. I am an average youth minister.
