Sometimes... it feels like I don't have a single day to just be at home.
Sometimes... ministry feels like an interrupting sacrifice of time and self
Sometimes... I'm tired & need 5 cups of coffee to keep me there and going.
Sometimes... I dread waking up to be there early to set up.
Sometimes... I grumble and complain.
Sometimes... cleaning up after 21 & 12 girls is a laborious chore.
Sometimes... I wanna do only what I wanna do on my Saturday mornings.
Sometimes... I am my own worst enemy.
Sometimes... I get to SC and a hug melts away all my selfishness
Sometimes... watching girls squish their hands in cookie dough brings a smile to my face.
Sometimes... seeing them having fun splashing each other while washing dishes makes me laugh.
Sometimes... hearing their excitement to be there makes me excited.
Sometimes... investing in their lives keeps my heart open.
Sometimes... watching them full of energy at 9 a.m. makes me covet, haha!
Sometimes... I giggle watching them snitch a chocolate chip, thinking I never saw.
All the time... I walk away thankful I got up and went.
All the time... I am grateful for each precious girl that comes.
All the time... I love to love on those sweet girls.
All the time... afterwards, as I leave, my heart smiles a big smile of joy in the Lord and serving in His Name.
