Life right now seems to be measured in counting down the days… I leave for Venezuela in a little over two weeks. I am excited to go down again. It’s a bit sad that this is looking to be my last time down there (and possibly my last overseas mission team), so I am eager to make the most of it. I’m also counting down the days until Courtney visits this weekend.
Even at work it has been hard to keep my mind grounded. I know I’ll be job hunting as soon as I return from Venezuela, and I am definitely eager to get underway with that and start figuring out a life for myself on the other end of the state. I’m genuinely excited to land a job that is firmly within my field and to start a “real” career of sorts.
I’ve been thinking some about youth ministry, too. Yesterday the high school group “took over” the service and did everything from the music to a sermon by the high school pastor, including a few videos and testimonies sharing the work God has been doing in their midst. I realized how much I miss that now. Whatever church I wind up at next, I think I’m going to look for a place where I can serve in this sort of ministry. I could even see myself becoming a youth pastor at some point in the more distant future. I suppose for now my job is simply to wait and see where God shapes my heart.
