For several years I have been wanting to get into youth ministry.  I tried when I was at college, but the students leader potions became popularity contests and went to those who were friends with the youth minister.  So I stopped trying.

For the past couple weeks I have been taking a theology course through my church.  Yesterday was the last class and I felt lead to talk to my pastor about becoming a youth minister.  Today we talked after service and I am going to be commissioned as a youth minister.  Meaning I can do everything an ordained minister can I just won't have the title of Reverend.  So now I am 'Pastor Jenn,"  and my family has 3 pastors.

It'll take a few months to get everything taken care of, but I start most of my duties as youth minister tonight.  I will be a camp counselor at our youth camp this year and I will be teaching sunday school this coming month.  I'm very excited, yet I can see the opposition i may face from another woman who wants control over things.  Pastor and I think she will not take well to having to help and report to me instead of the other way around (I'm several years younger then her I believe at least 15).  But that doesn't take away from my excitement and anticipation. 

I am finally where I belong.
