Final Day at Kingswood

Today will be my last regular night serving the youth at Kingswood Church, and I go into the night with a myriad of feelings stirring within me. I love the young people who I have had a brief time of getting to know and I will miss them more than they realize, while I at the same time know that it is time for my service at Kingswood to come to an end. As I think about no longer serving at Kingswood, it oddly feels as if another chapter in my life is coming to an end, and I eagerly await the beginning of another chapter of life with both fear and anticipation. 

Raquel Rodriguez, the youth pastor that I have been working under at Kingswood, has been an amazing blessing in my life, and has taught me a great deal about youth ministry over these last 8 months. She is a strong woman, who loves the students that she ministers to like few youth pastors that I have ever come into contact with. I am thankful that she is not only my supervisor but has also been a great friend to Laura and I over the last few years. Thank you Raquel...
