sunrises


back on march 1st i decided to make an effort, okay, committed to getting up at 6:20 sunday through friday.  if you know me at all, you know mornings are my least favorite time of the day.  i mean i HATE mornings.  i find it funny that several of my friends love getting up at the crack of dawn.  my husband used to get up in the wee morning hours too.  i've since converted him a bit:)

anyways...i would drag myself out of bed each morning and head to the shower.  it was dark and way too cold.  but i would do it.  the first several days were really hard...then i saw this one morning.  as i headed into the kitchen to grab my coffee i was stopped the glaring sun.  

there were several of these over the month.  not too many as march was very gray in these parts.  and frankly april has been way too gray too.  but there were just enough for me to see that God was giving me a glimpse of His simple beauty.  

seeing the sunrise really is a glorious, sacred moment.....

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
