As many of you may know, I used to work in youth ministry, way back in the day, as in like a year ago. I still love youth min, am a big advocate of mentoring, and pouring into youth.
Either way – I know this isn’t my usual blogpost, but I had insomnia and couldn’t get to sleep for the life of me the other night, I blame the internet, or reddit… but reddit or stumbleupon led me to a bunch of pictures of cats, and then that linked me to all these gifs, and out of that came this, for anyone who’s worked in youth ministry…
- That guy you definitely don’t want volunteering in your youth ministry.
- What running straight out of undergrad into your first youth min position feels like.
- When that one student you, and your youth staff, have been praying for the entire year, gives their life to Christ
- When an event you planned runs seamlessly… #LikeABoss
- When a middle school student excitedly tells him mom how you let him ride on top of the church van.
- Staff Meetings.
- When you’re walking off stage after killing your sunday morning sermon
- When you blow your entire budget on one event
- When you, realize you needed that money for other events, and completely regret blowing your budget.
- How you think your head pastor feels after you “kill it” on a Sunday morning.
- How your head pastor actually feels after you preach on sunday morning
- When one of your middle school boys does something horrendously unacceptable, but it’s still kinda funny
