Goodbyes


Tonight was my last night as Youth Minister at Trinity United Methodist Church in San Antonio. Goodbyes are never easy and it makes me wonder why they call them goodbyes cause they are often don't make you feel good. However despite how much I am gonna miss the youth in San Antonio, I look forward to making new relationships at Creekwood UMC. Tonight I reflected on all of the experiences good and bad I had with each one there. One girl in particular, Stacie, was one of my first ever youth at Trinity. She and I had what I would say is a roller coaster of a relationship. She is now in college but when I first got to Trinity she was in the eighth grade. At first I don't believe she trusted me all too much mainly because of the lack of solidarity to the youth ministry before I got there. Tonight Stacie and I stood outside the activities building and reminisced about our battles, our growths and all our times together. It is so awesome to see the maturity in growth of so many kids. I thank God that he gave me a chance to be a part of their lives and that they got to be a part of mine. Goodbye Trinity youth I will miss you so much. Till we meet again at His heavenly banquet.
