No more pencils, no more books....

As of this afternoon, I am no longer a secondary math teacher. So what does that mean? It doesn't mean I'm going to be less busy than I was before, but it does mean I'm going to be a different kind of busy. I can finally devote my time to things that I enjoy more than wrangling kids all day.

I have an incredibly busy summer planned. This weekend, a group of college students and young adults from my church is going on a mission trip to Belize where we will do anything from lead services to teach lessons in a Christian school to help with afternoon sports activities. My main ministry while I am there is going to be leading worship during the services (I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous at all, but that tells me it is something I should definitely do). We are are all completely pumped about the trip and I can't wait to spend the week with such an amazing group of people (which just so happens to include my wonderful girlfriend).

Shortly after returning from Belize (next day? omg) I will be attending Creek Week at Budd Creek as a sponsor and worship leader. I am super excited about this week also because I will be making a second appearance with the incredibly talented and well spoken worship man himself. That's right, Matt Miller. If that weren't enough, I will also be spending the week with Bethany, Bro Nate, and a ton of little kids. Yes, it is going to be that amazing.

Those two events would be enough for an amazing summer, but there is so much else going on it's not even funny! I heard you laughing. Stop. For real. After Creek Week there is the annual guy's camping trip which is getting a fresh face with the addition of the guys from my church of old, Flatwoods (whose youth group incidentally also has a fresh face with the recent addition of Joey Cook.. awesome.). Mix up the rest of the summer with TLC, Sunday night CORE youth meetings, and some time to work on my project car and you get a super busy (but even more awesome) summer.

So that's what no longer being a secondary math teacher means. I'm just as busy as ever, but busy doing other things.

(And it also means I am, once again, on the road to being a poor college student. Donations are accepted, send your money via PayPal to eric@sandwich.net)
