Initiation, sort of!

My 'office' is located in the very back corner of the church, through two classrooms and down a large hallway. I think someone heard how often I speak or sing out loud to myself, and decided that I needed to be put as far away from other humans as possible. It's probably best for all involved!

However, the other morning I was making my way back through the church towards my desk, and suddenly came to an abrupt halt. There was a large pile of rocks piled against the door leading towards my office. Too bad I didn't bring my pick axe or back hoe this morning!


The rocks were quickly moved aside, and I opened the door, turned on the light and was met with a startling array of bright colours. There were balloons and streamers EVERYWHERE. Hanging from the ceiling. Stuck to my chair. On every cupboard and desk drawer. There was a huge sign to welcome me, and a number of bows stuck all over. And the phone. Oh, my poor phone that I now have no idea which buttons are which number. It was AMAZING!


I laughed (I may have teared up a little), and praised God for people who take a few moments out of their own busy lives to build up a sister in Christ. I know the culprits (or angels - you pick!) and I'm extremely grateful for them all. They made me feel welcome and loved, and I praise God that I get to work alongside fellow believers such as these. So thank you, dear friends. Even those who were willing to sacrifice dizziness for the sake of blowing up all those balloons. You are loved and appreciated.
