Back in the Game

Today was my first day back in the office. Definitely nice to be out of the house and around people. At times while laying on the couch (may I remind you that we live at the church and are located just above one of the large meeting rooms and face the big playground where all the kids play) and hearing people outside I was reminded of a time in 3rd grade when I was home sick for 2-3 weeks and wasn't able to play or do anything with anyone. Yet, at the same time I could still see and hear everything that they were being a part of. Bummer!

Now, off the couch and ready to take part in all the fun....work! Honestly work isn't really work. It's being with people. It's making a point to go and sit and talk with the volunteer receptionist for 10-15 minutes. It's doing more then what people ask for. It's making sure that people are covered without them knowing I've done anything. It's taking time to talk about something that I noticed, even the small things, and to find solutions with other people.

Overall I lasted almost an entire day. I went home about 45 min early from lunch and maybe an hour before the end of day. It's amazing how exhausting crutching around gets and how it just wears you out. Then I went to a debrief meeting that was for our Vacation Bible School and it was so much fun. We talked about all the miscommunication and all the things that went really well that we would like to see next year. To go from worship for the first part then to hear almost everyones testimony of what happened with the during the week (and months before) it was thoroughly fun and deep at the same time...what a great combination!

Looking forward to tomorrow...preparing for Foundation45 Summer Camp!
