Sundays at Mountain

Life in ministry leads to LONG Sundays. No, really, Sundays are crazy long days.

I knew this before I came to Mountain. I grew up with a Children's minister for a mom and my dad was involved in worship ministry basically my entire childhood. I knew Sundays were busy, but yesterday was exceptionally long.

I was at Church a total of 14 hours yesterday. 14

Needless to say, when it was time for Echo and Collide I was tired. Somehow, I found enough energy to toss some frisbees and hang out with students before the services and just like always, I had a great time.

Even though I was crazy tired and my feet hurt from standing most of the day, one moment made it all worth it.

I was sitting with the students during worship at Echo and they were learning a new song that the high school had learned at CIY. During the last chorus I stopped singing and listened.

There's nothing like hearing a bunch of middle schoolers singing, "I will live to love you, I will live to bring you praise."

Reasons why I'm becoming a youth pastor.
