This is it.

My last night at youth group.

It’s bittersweet, really. It was my choice to leave, and I know it’s the right decision. I’m growing up, I’m moving on.

But of course, I’ll miss the kids. I’ll miss the comradre of the A-Team. I’ll still miss retreats, and conventions, and yes, even the meetings.

Thank you, God, for the time you gave me in the youth group. Thank you for the blessing it was. I pray for the continued growth of the youth ministry, and that they will be ever mindful of their purpose: drawing teens to you. I pray that every student will have the opportunity for growth and for friendship that I did. Thank you.
