"The trick is growing up without growing old"
~Casey Stengel~
When you are blessed to become a youth minister you become a teen again.
Well you get the chance to become a teen and be an adult at the same time.
Through out my 9 years of being a youth minister many kids have come and gone.
Each one effecting me in a different way.
The picture above is of two of my youth members,
They just as those before them have grown up so much.
Life wasn't always easy for them but they have become amazing adults.
Yes Allison and Adrian you are adults now sorry.
I'm proud of the scientist, accountants, hair stylists, and mothers they are all becoming.
Of all the youth members almost all have gone to further their educations.
They have inspired me to become a better person,
And I am so excited when I get to see each of them.
I have led them through service projects, fund-raisers, and on many trips.
I've spent hours talking to them about problems,
Late nights playing games with them such as,
Ultimate Duck Duck Goose or Man Hunt.
I hope that I have lead them all to make the right choices in life,
And that they will not make the same mistakes I have.
I love all my kids even the ones who have grown up.
