In this season of my life I am not very involved in the HS ministry with Jeff. I try to be seen, but don’t lead anything and usually don’t even make it to a service except at the end with my kids. So the other day I checked my kids into child care and decided to go to the HS service with Jeff instead of “Big Church”. I got inspired and wanted to sit at a table with students to talk and lead some discussion. So I scoped out a table of students that looked like they were not connecting so well. To pump myself up I thought, “I’ve done this before, I’m good with students, I’m pretty cool, here I go…” I approached the table, introduced myself to the 4-5 girls and sat down with them. Within seconds all the girls got up and moved to a different table! So there I was, sitting alone at a big round table feeling so good about ministry. Awesome.
What do you do? Keep trying? I don’t know that I want to, or have the energy.
Sometimes it is hard to just accept that this is not my season, sometimes I’m fine with it.
Does anyone else flip-flop like me?
So I’m a newbie… and looking for all the advice I can get too 
De-lurked here just to tell you that I’m in the same boat. I’m married to a youth pastor, we have one 4 year old whom, sweet as she is, is the main reason why I’m not more involved in my husband’s ministry. I feel….actually we feel together….that even though it’s weird not having that relationship with the kids, my job right now is to be there for our daughter. When we were married, our pastor said that my job as a Christian wife is to make sure I’m doing all I can to support and help my husband fulfill his call in life (ministry). So…..I’m in the same boat….but I’ve kind of accepted the fact that for now, until my daugther gets older, that’s MY ministry. Being there for my daughter when daddy can’t.
God Bless!
