Decision Time

It's time to tell- I've been thinking about something for awhile now that has honestly been one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make. I know I've made bigger life-altering decisions, but this one just seemed to run deeper and affect more people than the decisions I usually make. A week ago Tuesday I was offered a position at my church http://www.tccrca.org/ as (more or less) their new Youth Director. It is a part time position that involves planning and implementing a student-led youth ministry program. The Youth Director would have to interview and hire two interns to work with him/her during the following year to try to get the ministry to a point where the students might start to take more control of their own "youth group." I debated, and debated, and debated, and more or less had to make this decision without my husband since he is in Dallas and finding good times to sit and talk on the phone has never been our strong point.
So I decided: I'm taking the opportunity. I will go to part time at Standard and part time at Thornapple. I will also be volunteering with an organization that I discovered called Roanoke Ranch for Kids http://www.roanokeranch.com I cannot wait to get started, I think this will be so good for me. Hopefully my more fliexible schedule will allow me some stress relief. There will be different kinds of stress, but I have a feeling that it will be more good stress than bad. Time will tell!
