Student Ministry

I love being a youth pastor. I love making a difference in teenagers lives. I don't remember being in seminary or college and getting any preparation for the emotional struggle of ministry. I think they should have a class specifically on that issue.  I have wanted to quit so many times but it's as if every time that happens God brings somebody to encourage me. That encouragement usually comes in the form of a teenager coming for spiritual help. I just met with a student that I love greatly. Something happened today that has never happened in ministry before. While he was on the verge of tears I thought to myself, "This kid is my brother." I would die for him. I mean that. 

Thanks to a couple girls in my youth group I have a blog now. I want this to be mainly for me.  My cheaper form of therapy. However, if people read this and are encouraged so be it. Thanks girls!!
