Me: takes prayer requests from group, writes on board in youth room.
Teen: “Can I take a pic so I can pray for these?”
Me, welling with pride: “SURE!”
Another teen: “Yea share it in the group chat so we all can!”
Me: *single tear falls down cheek* SO PROUD!

Working on confirmation prep and I was pretty proud of how I am trying to explain the need for paperwork: “The Catholic Church thinks that it is pretty worthwhile to keep track of indelible marks on your child’s soul” @YMProbs @TheMeanYM @LT_TheBiblegeek #sarcasmismylovelanguage

“...but my daughter was baptized at your parish. Why can’t you just look up our last name in your database?” Oh sure. Let me look her up in our ‘database’ 🤦🏽‍♀️ 😤 🤦🏽‍♂️ #ymprobs @YMProbs @TheMeanYM

"So what makes you qualified for this YM job?" "I'm awkward, pass." "You're hired!" #YouthMinistryProblems

[Youth Ministry Probs @YMProbs]

You're at a church for 7 years as the YM & they want you to do children's ministry too… at the same p/t pay level. #YouthMinisterProblems

Got dismissed from a YM gig? Don't worry. Take criticism constructively; keep growing & being holy. God provides & He has a plan. #ymprobs

If someone ISN'T yelling at you with righteous, mis-attributed rage, are you even a Youth Minister? #YMProbs

[Mean Youth Minister @TheMeanYM]

When a parent (kids never been to a youth event, ever) starts criticizing the ministry as being "boring". #youthministerprobs #ymprobs
