So I’m sitting here at acquire the fire in anaheim listening to every days sunday and thinking about all of the cool bands I have seen at the different youth events I have been to. Which then leads me to think about all the awesome things my husband and I get to do as youth pastors. Who could ask for a better job? We not only get to share Jesus’ love with teenagers and help shape their lives, but we also get to do really fun stuff. Yay for us!

Conference

So we just got back from foursquare’s annual fall conference. Have you ever noticed that you often get more out of the free time spent with friends between sessions than you do from the actual sessions themselves? It is so nice to go and spend time with people you know what it’s like to be in ministry. Who understand what it is like to need to be just people every now and again, to not be solving every ones problems or to be under the microscope of the church people. I am so thankful for our friends that are youth pastor couples!

So last night was our first wed back after vacation. I didn’t realize how much I missed the kids at church. They are amazing. Jason and I are truly blessed to be able to do some thing we are so passionate about for a living. But the vacation was really needed after our crazy summer. It was nice to not have resosibilties for a while. It was great to have time for just the two of us. But it’s nice to be home now and be back to reality. Yay! for this crazy, beautiful life I lead

Hello every one! This is my very first post. I decided to start this so that I have a place to express my thoughts, and maybe even connect with youth pastors wives or other women in ministry. I guess I will start by telling you a little about who I am. My name is Clarissa, I am 22 and have been married for about 3 1/2 years. I love it. My husbands name is Jason. We have been youth pastors at smfs for almost 2 1/2 years. We don’ have any kids yet, we really want to focus on our ministry right now. BUt we do have 2 of the most amazing dogs, Bob Barker who is a german shepherd mix and Alex Trebek who is a norwich terrier. I love my life and couldn’t ask for more. I’m excited about this blog and can’t wait to see what happens.
