First Post as a Youth Pastor

Since I am not the regular blogger which I desire to be, I need to mention a couple of things. These things have been major milestones in my life. I am engaged to a wonderful woman, Heather, whom I cannot wait for her to be my wife. Second, is that I relocated to a small Indiana town to serve as a Youth Pastor.

There are many reasons why I want to become a regular blogger. First to be cool like Heath Muliken. Second is to let friends and family know what is going on in my life and what may need to be lifted in prayer. Third is to have yet another way of communicating the teens and adults involved with the student ministries of Frankfort First Wesleyan.

With that said, here is the first post as the Youth Pastor of Frankfort First Wesleyan:

I began the job hunt today. I was discouraged from the get go with knowing two things. First, Frankfort does not have much of a job market. Second, with the price of gas it would not be a good idea to go out of town to find a job. All weekend and today, I had it my mind that I was the one that needed to find a job. The pressure was self-applied for me to find a source of self-support. However, I know that it was God that brought me here. I know that I am right where God wants me. I have always stressed over money. Maybe this is God’s way of making me deal better with that. I am searching for the perfect job, one that pays well and works with my ministry schedule. Yet I do not feel that I am trusting God enough to show me the one.

I hope tomorrow my focus will be more on God, than on finding the job.

I have so many ideas and things to do tomorrow. I hope I do well accomplishing them. Hopefully the weather will be good.
