Trust

I read a very faith-filled quote last night that has given me such confidence in my new role as Early Childhood Coordinator at my local church.
You see, each week I prepare the crafts, copy the activities, produce the schedule, equip my teachers/leaders, plan the events, contact the volunteers, and yes, I even worry about what the events of the next Sunday morning will hold. So many known factors, but yet so many unknown, each week help prepare me, and my classrooms, for the next Sunday morning because, as we all know, Sunday's coming! The children will arrive - and will we be ready? I have said recently that Sunday mornings are my best and my worst times of the week. Why? Because sometimes I leave the office Thursday afternoons knowing that I am down in my volunteer numbers and possibly won't have enough to cover the number of children who I know will enter the church doors Sunday morning ready to play, hear a true story from God's word, eat a snack, go upstairs for Wee Worship, sing songs, and possibly play a game or color a picture. Sunday's coming - and what more can I do? That's why this quote is so special to me. It says, that no matter what may happen Sunday morning, God knows about it and will equip me to deal with it. He may even teach me something new.
I share this quote with this in mind: Sunday IS Coming!
