I am sitting here at the shop... reading anything and everything I can about children's ministry. From leadership to service to connecting with parents and volunteers to craft projects and Bible lessons to VBS and even assessing your leadership traits.
My head is about as full as it can get, so I started reading about past and present Auburn football coaches.
Now its back to the kids stuff. I'm praying that God will literally make more room in my brain for this stuff. Back to reading...
Some Mondays are terrible. Like when you go swing dancing till 1AM the night before, and then have to be at work at 5:45AM.
Or when you wake up and realize the outfit or work clothes you want/need to wear are still in the washing machine and you never switched them to the dryer.
Mondays stink when you have been on vacation for a long time, and then have to go back to a normal routine.
They can be really bad if you are sick, and still have to go on with regular plans.
And I must say that when you wake up to snow on the ground, and find out you STILL have to go to work or school are pretty terrible kinds of Mondays.
But....
When you go to bed at 6PM, and sleep for 11 hours before coming into work and making yourself a perfect coffee, Mondays aren't so bad.
I think they are probably better when you wake up in a playroom in Georgia and then eat mini blueberry muffins for breakfast.
Mondays are also enjoyable when the heat and brightness from the sun wake you up through the skylight in a tent in Idaho after you were up all night laughing with high school campers.
I also like Monday mornings when you have to get at 3:30AM but you don't mind because you are headed to an airport and flying somewhere wonderful!
Sleeping in till 11AM kind of Mondays are cool too. But so are the kind of Mondays where you have absolutely no plans, but still wake up early and have the whole day ahead of you!
When you buy something new, and wake up Monday morning with it laid out for you to wear... those are good Mondays.
Waking up to a text message from someone on a Monday morning makes the day nice.
