In less than half an hour I am supposed to be leading an important meeting with one of my key leaders in our Children's ministry.
And while I closed down everything else I was working on, turned on some reflective music, and planned to just pray through the agenda, somehow I ended up here. Blogging. To you, my faithful bloggy friends.
Someone hurt my feelings yesterday. And you know what? I can be sensitive, especially when it comes to the ministry God has entrusted me with, and criticisms of my handling of the ministry.
And while I tried, desperately, to let it roll off my back, it didn't. It hasn't. And it might not.
Because I realized something; this ministry I have been entrusted with is so deeply embedded in this heart of mine, that we share the same heartbeat.
So, when I see actual footprints on the wall in our pre-school class/basketball court A, my heart skips a beat, and I get teary-eyed.
To be a part of something so much bigger than my mind or heart could have ever imagined, it is truly humbling.
To know that people matter more than keeping our building looking nice, or new, or sometimes even clean... is truly exciting.
Hurt feelings are a small price to pay...

I completely understand. I get that a lot with my worship ministry as well as my college decision. People just don't understand why I do the things that I do. I just have to trust that God has called me to be where I am and do what I do. It has been a fantastic ride with Him so far, and I am looking forward to a lot more. Thanks for this post I really enjoyed it.
