Last night I was sitting in a church service next to one of my friends. My youth pastors and their kids, who are my friends, were standing up front talking to the guest speaker, and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Not jealous in bad way, but jealous wishing that I had what they had sometimes. Don't get me wrong, my family is great, and they are my biggest supporters, but my youth pastors have THE best relationship as a family that I have ever seen, and sometimes I wish I had that. My friend and her brother are really close and it's wierd because I would never think of hanging out with my brother like they do all the time. My youth pastors are like my second set of parents. They are two of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life, and I feel lucky to have them in my life. We all call them "mom" and "dad" even though we all have our own parents. They are just like another set of parents though. They keep us all accountable and love us like we were all their own kids. I would never give up the life I have right now, but sometimes I wish that I had a family like theirs for just one day to see what it's like.
I feel like even though they aren't a part of my family, they are still my support system. They build me up and make me feel good, just like my actual family.
