Now as I recover from my hang over of Breakfast with Santa, I quickly work on getting ready for the rest of Christmas. And while most of think about some of the things we want or want to get others I wanted to take a moment and thank God for all my blessings. Last year at this time was rough, I was feeling overwhelmed and defeated in my first year of high school ministry. But I want to thank God for blessing me with some wonderful ministers that have really stepped up, some of the new faces in the middle school and high school who are hungry to get engaged and just the wonderful support network I’m building with some of my fellow youth ministers. As 2007 winds down I can tell 2008 will be an even better year for ministry. With a great Lenten campaign beefing up I know God is going to continue to bless me with more.
