I would have never thought that I would ever honestly say "man. I love being a custodial supervisor!" ... And given any other place than Teen Mania, I most likely never would have. Interns put a smile on my face. Especially new ones.
I'm lucky enough to see the passion in their hearts sparked when they first get here. In the mornings I drive through campus to get to my office and I see them worshiping, and on their face in their own little quiet place. This past week they were introduced to their ministry placement. I understand that custodial is the last place on earth many would want to be. I expected teary eyes, and sad faces. To my surprise, most were joyful!
They humble me. I remember where I was when my placement was announced. I wouldn't put it past me to say that my face probably looked like I just watched my cat get ran over. One of my interns gets dizzy easilly resulting in sickness. I asked her if she wanted to step out for a while give herself time. Red eyed she shook her head no and continued to scrub.
I wish I had that heart. I wish that when life passed me a lemon I knew to make lemon-aide. I wish I knew NOT to take the easy way out. I'm excited for this year. I can't wait to serve with these amazing young men and women.
I love being custodial supervisor... and blessed beyond belief.

Someone I know really well told me that you are incredible and will do wonderfully well at this new job. She said you have such a great heart and are just a sweet, sweet person.
I thought that was one of the nicest things she could have said :)
Be blessed at all you put your hand to.
