ahhhhh....

as of 1:30pm on this very day, i have been set free. with many strokes of a pen i wrote what will likely be the final two exams of my post-secondary education existence (CBC-wise, as least). not only is that chapter of my life done, but the book has been closed. ahhhhh...

so what next? actually it'll be a busy summer:

1) next week: Los Angeles for a youth-worker conference (a.k.a. beach)
2) May 1: begin full-time youth work
3) mid-May: Ontario for a few days (want a day off, Paul?)
4) June: Uganda for three weeks
5) July: Back to California for a 10 day mission trip (+ road trip!)

and in the midst of it all--full-time youth work [nervous laughter]. nervous laughter because it's a daunting concept. full time youth ministry. is this what i signed up for? well...technically i haven't signed the papers yet, but things have been progressing towards that signature on the dotted line. yeesh. i was asked the other day what my ideal job would be. funny that youth work didn't top the list. train engineer did. or train conductor...as long as i'm on a train going somewhere. it's always been on top. weird. does this mean i'm barking up the wrong tree? it might mean that if so many people didn't want me to stay at the church. ah well. i guess time will tell...for now i'll enjoy this newfound freedom. a woo and a hoo!!
