Frustration.

Nothing new here in Katie-world. Just more and more frustration.

I am SO THANKFUL for a full time job!! I got a job as a medical records representative. I am on day two of training, and it is exhausting. It's been a while since I've tried to cram this much info into my brain at one time. :)

However, somewhere inside there is still a disappointment that I don't have a career in the ministry. When I was younger, I feel as though I was always hearing preachers say, "The last thing I wanted to do was full time ministry, but God radically changed me and threw me into full time ministry" So, as I had a burning desire to do ministry, without "denying" my call, I never thought I would end up with a Bible/Theology degree and working an office job at the age of 23. I thought 23 would be the perfect age to be engulfed in youth ministry. I mean, afterall, I was actually PREPARED and had taken the right steps toward ministry! How would I not be in full time ministry in a church?!

Apparently God had a different plan in mind. I still have no idea what it is.

Meanwhile, I am working in three different ministries at my church. 1. I am teaching the youth Sunday School class. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. 2. I am a part of the Delta team. (a young adult ministry). I also LOVE this. I need the fellowship and I love love love getting to preach. 3. I am a part of the 'advisory council' for our church's other young adult ministry. I don't know how I feel about this yet. I'm not sure my vision for it lines up with the other people involved with this. I am leading this week, so we shall see!

I think that's about it for my life update. Thanks for reading.
