Day 29- A picture that makes you smile. You're probably sick of hearing me talk about my job and how much I love it. But suck it up, cause that'll only get worse. When I graduated undergrad, I had way more emotions than anyone should have. I was miserably lost and had no clue what my next days future would be like. I very much considered seminary for youth ministry. I don't think I'm the coolest or most gifted person when it comes to dealing with youths but it's clear that God created my heart to beat a little faster around them. I get all kinds of energy when I'm around young people and more than most anyone, they need people in their lives who'll love on them and be on their side. But as I was considering that career path, something didn't feel right. I didn't want my career to be in ministry and I figured out that I LOVED my major way too much to not do anything with it. So I went back to school, honestly just to buy some time so that PRT would hire me for good. And they did, and as a result I get to go on fun trips to DC with youths. I get to push them to be leaders in our community, I get to shovel mulch with them on a Saturday morning, I get to go kayaking and have parties with them, and I get paid for it. That just doesn't make any sense. I know that I get paid like crap and no I don't want to go into work every single morning, but I honestly thank God for my job everyday and I mean it. I would love to spend the rest of my life making my community a better place. So this picture makes me smile. My job and the youth I get to work with makes me smile. High five, Jesus.

Just the sheer excitement on their faces and the hyperventalating over seeing Obama makes me smile! What a great group of kids!
