At times I have wondered: am I dedicated more to the toddlers than the youth? I have realized that I talk about the toddlers with the youth and I hope they don't think I love the younger kids more than I love all of them. But then I realized, it's not like I can talk to the toddlers about the youth. They wouldn't be able to follow or understand the concepts of the different ways in which the youth bless me. I have realized that I enjoy both ministries so much and that they both bless me immensely. I enjoy seeing the toddlers grow into their little persons and personalities and the different things they learn about God. I love hearing 5 or 6 kids pray over the snack. I loved when they remembered that Jonah went to Ninevah (that's a hard word to say). I love when they all participate and listen to my 15 - 20 minute story / lesson. As for the youth, I love seeing them worship, and I love seeing the way that some of the S.A.L.T. youth really do step up - like Jake Roessler when it comes to Darian, Zach, and so many others, and Joanna with all she does with her letters and planning of events, and Liz, Lindsey, and Kristen with the way they are so dedicated and always willing to step up and serve, and Jake Mullins with how diligent is is to clean the church, no matter if he feels like it, and James with his heart of worship.
