better able to connect with kids than the last guy
grow the ministry in the next 6 months
connect all the fringe kids so that they all become active members of your youth program
Have you ever felt that you have had these expectations on you?
These are all definitely things to strive for as you want to connect with students, want to grow the minister and connect those fringe students so that they too can be ministered to. But just because someone expects you to do certain things doesn’t mean that you are “that person” to accomplish all people’s expectations. It is when we allow other people’s expectations of us change who we are, we lose sight of what we do best, what actually got us that Youth Director job in the first place.
So, as you deal with other people’s expectations, you may come to the point where you ask, “I have no idea what I am suppose to do”. It is in that moment that I want to encourage you, do what you know you can do. Do what you do the best. You have skills and assets that got you this job. Use the gifts that God has given you and do what you can do as you give it your all for the Kingdom. Then allow God to do what he does best, which is make the real change in peoples lives.
