Well, tomorrow's the big day. I will travel to YPC one last time, turn in my key, clean out my office, and spend one last evening with the youth. And then my time at Yorkminster will come to a close. It's very bittersweet. I will miss the people tremendously. The leaning experience was a great one. And my call to has been affirmed in many different ways.
Over the past few months, people have asked me "What do you like best and least about this job?" And depending on the day, my answer changes. I love the people that I have gotten to know and love over the past year. I have learned so much from them (much more than they have learned from me) and I will take every memory and conversation with me. I love the fact that this job has given me experiences outside of children and youth ministries. Who knew that at the end of this job I would be able to track a CE budget, administer various first aid assistance, and be able to back up a 15-passenger bus filled with youth perfectly into a parking spot. And on top of that, I can coordinate a trip to summer camp, complete with an amusement park visit and rental vans.
I don't know that there is any part of my job that I dislike. Committee meetings aren't on the top of my list of things I enjoyed, but when they are productive, I don't mind going to them. I guess that's my least favorite. There were times when I had so much going on that I couldn't think straight. But that's bound to happen wherever I end up.
The past 15 months have been priceless. I will always think of this job with great memories, and will take so much with me. Now it's off on a new adventure. Seminary is waiting for me and I can't wait to start. It's going to be challenging, but it'll be worth it. So stay tuned. I'm sure there will be many more blog posts in the future.
