Dear Reader,
I think I have a problem. I have an unhealthy obsession with waffles. Seriously, I really do. Waffles are so good though. Especially the Belgian waffles. Those are literally heaven on a plate.
Enough about my weird food obsessions. You already know I'm weird.
I know I've told you about my youth group, and how much I sincerely adore them. But I want to take a minute to talk about my youth minister, Jake. Jake is probably my role model. He's the wisest, smartest, honestest (is that a word?), most down to Earth guy I know. He's a fantastic musician. He plays every instrument I've ever wanted to play. He can sing, read music, and understand crazy music theory that I can't begin to comprehend. But most of all, he's great at speaking out. He doesn't let anything hold him back from worshiping. That's what I admire about him. I've never told him any of this, because I don't have enough courage to speak up and say it. So here's my way of speaking up. I hope that he read this one day.
A while ago Jake had to step down form being youth minister because he was simply too busy. This is really disappointing for me. Jake is the best (and only) youth minister I ever had. I understand why he stepped down; he's a busy guy. I just wish that somehow he wouldn't have to. But life gets in the way sometimes. And life can demand your full attention whether you want it to or not. Trust me, I would know.
My mom is going to take over youth group now. It's going to be weird, because youth group was my safe haven were I could to rant about my parents or just hang out with my friends and play Frisbee. Youth group could be crazy or totally serious. With one of my parents leading there are going to be some big changes I'm not sure I can deal with. I'm not very good with change when it comes to my church family. We've been through too much to have to get on The Struggle Bus again. But hey, its not like I have a say in anything that goes on anymore.
I'm just a teenager. I couldn't possibly have good ideas.
Sincerely Yours,
Rae
