it's a God thing, for sure
So, maybe you guys knew this and maybe you didn't, but I applied for a youth director position at my church here in Newburgh (Newburgh Presbyterian Church). It was kind of funny how I came to be an applicant (that's another story) but I really didn't think I would get the job. I found out that the other person up for the job was the minister's husband who has 2 masters degrees in family counseling and something else impressive. Plus, this guy has been doing it without pay for the past year and a half and the kids like him. No chance, right?
Wrong, they offered me the position and I accepted. Meet Claire Nienaber, full time account executive, part time youth director.
This was one of those situations when I simply put it all in God's hands. I just figured if God wanted me in that position, he would put me there. I didn't actually expect him to do it, but here I am.
I'm really excited. I've missed ministry since I left Bloomington and leaving such an amazing community of Christian support left me feeling empty. This job is an answered prayer for me because I'll be discipled by our minister (who is awesome and a great example of a strong Christian woman) and constantly challenged and motivated by 15 kids in the church I've grown up in.
Anyway, I thought that warranted an update, so there it is. The transition will be hard and I'll pretty nervous, so prayers would be awesome. I've never done this on my own before but I know I'm not really alone.
Praise God.
