I never knew how time consuming and even slightly frustrating it would be to be put in charge of the children's ministry at UBC. It's been a learning process that is for sure. I now understand why we normally have someone last a year or two at the most. It is A LOT of work. More than anyone could imagine. I was blessed to fill the shoes of an incredible woman who had lessons already planned out for me for the whole semester. Even with that though, it's been tough making sure I have teachers every week, have the supplies needed every week, have lessons, etc. etc. etc. Next semester should be interesting, but thankfully I have more free time on my hands (I think and hope).
Speaking of next semester...only 13 more hours and I'm a graduate of Baylor University!? Sic 'em. The time I have spent here I wouldn't change for anything. I wouldn't go anywhere else or do anything else. I have been blessed with some amazing friends here and I hope that I can continue those friendships even a year from now when we all start parting ways. I have learned a lot about myself while I've been here too. I feel like what I'm saying is what Erin said to me the other night at dinner, but the more I think about it, the more she was right. We really have grown and learned a lot about ourselves in the 4 years we have devoted to our respective schools. I have tried new things (maybe some weren't for the better) and I have fallen and learned to pick myself up. I have grown in faith and even struggled with faith. I have learned things about myself I would have never known without trying new things. I definitely wouldn't change the past 4 years at all.
