And it’s hard because there are so many “good” things to do out there. What I am trying to figure out is what good do I need to give up so I can do the great that God has called me to.

My mother in law can’t understand why I would quit teaching. “You are such a good teacher.” And I agree with her. I am. But I am not a great teacher. While being a good teacher, I can also only be a good wife, good mom. I want to be great at what God has called me to. I know my time will be filled with something once I quit teaching; I’m hoping it’s great!

That way you could pursue ministry while your kids back you up in the band. I’m all about compromise ;-)

I just started serving at LC again on the host team. I am LOVING greeting all those peeps into our church. Anyhoo… the kiddos are doing it with me. I was just reminded by your post that even little things like greeting is a way to serve and having them do this with me is one way to give their time as well. I needed that!

Now, KT is another story. No, no. He hasn’t had a pedicure….lately. But, the boy does love his massages.

Just remember, right now they invite you in to thier new and fun world. But there will be a day you and KT invite them into your world with a peek at daily chores, responsibility. How does mom and dad do the “real” world. Dusty this may not include a mirage of pedicures, shopping, and massages. Just poking fun at you kid! You and KT will provide good stuff for those two in your care. Love ya.
