as much as i am looking forward to 2009, it is going to be one of the craziest years yet. i'm finishing up my bachelor's degree in communications, striving to become a youth pastor, helping start up a whole new way of conducting youth ministry at my church, going on multiple trips with EPIC youth (one of which being africa), as well as working a real job and pseudo interning at another. this seems so insane and out of control, but as i sit here and type about it i am becoming super excited. i cannot wait to see what this year is going to hold for me!
i am so glad to have such an awesome group of friends by my side through this madness. the people i've been spending most of my time with lately seemed to sort of come out of no where. we were all friends before, but we've sort of become this really tight click (a term i am using losely in this context). it feels really strange to me to be the oldest of this group, too. for so long i was the youngest of my group of friends, and now i'm taking on a whole new role in the group. some people may think that i am a little weird for spending so much time with these young ones, but for the first time in my life, i'm ok with people thinking odd of me. if you for just one moment stopped to listen to these kids, you would see that they have more insight into God then most people my age. while my close group of friends has an average age of 16, i carry on amazing conversations with them about life, faith, callings...its pretty amazing.
i love how close we have become, i love how close me and my cousins are, and i love still having my best friend, Alisha, to share life with. no one can replace my friends, their my family.
