The busy but good life

I haven't updated in a while because school started and things are very busy.  There is a LOT of reading, more than last year, and also a lot of ministry stuff to take care of but I'm enjoying it.  Being a youth pastor is an exciting challenge, sometimes feel like there is not enough time to do everything I would like to do for the youth.

I might get a "second job".  In fact it might not really be another job, just that I get paid for the volunteer work that I already do.  I proposed to Grace Gospel Church that maybe I could get paid for serving with outreach because I have been turning down tutoring jobs to focus on it.  I proposed 5 hours a week of pay but soon after they were also considering paying me for teaching youth on Sunday mornings, which wouldn't be too much of a burden because I would be teaching them the same thing that I would teach the Charis church youth in the afternoon.

This happened after I prayed that God would provide for my finances.  I totally believe in God's promises to provide for His children.

I'm excited for the Charis youth because I have a lot of ideas on how to train them up well and also have a lot of fun.  We already discussed the topic last week "Why would God allow suffering?" and they had a lot of additional questions.  This upcoming Friday we are discussing "sex and dating".

For Christmas I want them to get involved making care packages for refugees.  In Feb. I want to bring them to a Christian Bible snow camp.  I think it will be really fun, hopefully it works out.

Gotta run soon, class tonight!
