Today was the appreciation and farewell party for Lindsay, who was the Youth Worker at Charis Evangelical Free Church for the past year. He is an amazing guy, honestly I really admire his heart for God and I can see the fruit of his teaching in the youth's hearts. Starting next Sunday I officially start as the Youth Pastoral Intern at this church and Lindsay will be taking a break. I am very happy to have found this church where I can serve and the hearts of the youth are so open to learn and they are all pretty easy to get along with.
At Charis I will be in charge of the youth fellowship, preaching, and Sunday school. That is actually a lot to take care of but I will pray for God's guidance and I already found some possible good curriculum that I can use. I'm excited to teach teens because I've been teaching children for 10 years and I really wanted to move on to impacting youth for Christ.
Another new beginning coming up is me moving out next weekend. Yes, I have to pay my own rent and cook for myself. I have to learn to live on my own. Thank God that many people have donated materials to me so I don't need to buy too much new stuff for my new place. I just hope that I don't offend my landlady in any way and that I will budget wisely. I know my mom will probably call me every day because she will still be overprotective... I mean today I was at church for dinner and she thought since I didn't answer my phone that I fainted on the street. Sheesh!
Also Gloria and I are starting the Sounds of Hope music and poetry club at Chester Le in Sept. Yes, I will be crazy busy because we are going to run Sounds of Hope twice a week, once for kids and once for teens. Hopefully we get more help so that I won't need to organize so much. I'll have to work really hard this upcoming term in order to finish all my school assignments and all that.
Anyways overall I am excited... just pray that I don't burn out but instead spend lots of time in prayer and the Word to replenish energy and be joyful all the time!
