Tip # 15 on being a youth pastor's wife!

Fun fact of Joel and I: 

In the five years we have been together we have never rode on a plane together..weird...


but as for the tip...


You will always run into youth that know what they are doing in their relationship with Christ and have the right mind set of what it is all about..for example..


One afternoon we were just hanging out at the church just playing us some Settlers...


by the way our students love the game so far which makes me supper dupper excited!


any who.. we were just playing some games and when we got done a lot of them went off and went to do some worship practice but one youth stayed back. This youth usually stays to them self but today we just really connected..I left him for a little while and when I came back I saw the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. 


He had taken the cross that we have in our room and laid it on the ground and then without anyone in the room with him he took his very own time and worshiped God by laying on this cross and just feeling that close to Jesus..


When I walked in I was shocked and also wondering what he was doing so I asked him and he kinda shyed off but I was persistent in asking him what was on his mind and he finally opened up and said I was laying on the cross 

because I wanted to be like Jesus..


When I heard those words tears filled my eyes because I knew that this youth had the right mindset.. His word tells us to pick up our cross daily (or lay it down for that matter) and be perfect like our Heavenly father is perfect..you might not agree with me and I could care less but I believe that this youth knew exactly what he wanted and that was to be like Jesus so he approached it the best way he knew how and that was the way that Jesus showed His love for us


by dying on the cross to bring us life so that we can have 
it abundantly and bring others to it..


this youth has brought me so much closer in my walk with God and I can't him enough for expressing his love for God in a way that brought tears to my eyes..


now my question to you is..how do you worship God..how do you let others see your light..are you shining it or just letting it be hidden under something..don't be afraid to shine your light for him because He knows what He is doing when he shines that light..

Here goes..

and it begins. Starting a blog is terrifying to me. Things come to mind for fears such as                     -I wont be good at this.                     - No one will care                      - I wont know what to talk about                       - I'll never update But on the other hand, I am so excited because I am able to express so many different things.. so...here goes.

Tip #45 on being a youth pastors wife..

so I was right..I wasn't going to be very good at updating but I have come to learn that it will be a random whenever i learn a lesson/good point kinda post type thing.. so tip #45: Know now that you will sometimes spend evenings alone while the hubby gets to go to movies, cool parties and awesome other events to take time to be with the youth.  for example.. tonight I am in class till 10p and I get a text at 9:51p asking if Joel could go to the movies with a youth to see a movie that I have been wanting to see for quiet sometime..Joel being the man that he is takes time to ask me but he knows im going to say yes to the oppurtunity so he is already on the way with him to the movie..so cute! but as I sit here all by myself I think to myself how truly blessed I am to have a husband that will take time out of his time off..his sleep..his relaxiation time to go out and be with a youth just to gain a better relationship with him.. so now i have realized that I need to quit school....
