Today rocked!
I walked into an emaculately cleaned office that I know some people had to scramble to put together. My awesome pastor traded offices with me (and took a smaller office) because mine is closer to the worship center (and far away from the main office so I can make more noise).
For lunch the staff hit up Jade Garden. Jean, my awesome children’s pastor, gave me a paper Birthday crown with my name on it. I figured 29 was still pretty young and I could pull of wearing the crown. Then I got her card which featured “Top 10 hymns for over-the-hill people” like “It is Well with My Soul - but my back aches a lot,” so I guess I’m old anyway.
A bunch of people showed up with cake and presents in the afternoon. It was super cool to be surprised like that I felt crazy welcomed and way loved on.
Happy Birthday!!
It makes me happy that they’re taking care of you when I can’t be there with you.
That’s awesome! Happy b-day. It’s really cool that they did all that for you. When I started at my (now) former church I had to spend the first couple of weeks cleaning out junk in my office from the previous worship pastor (who left several months prior). Not very fun.
Wisdom,
That’s rough man. I still have a lot of stuff to go through, organize, categorize, and/or get rid of but it was super cool walking into a clean office.
CONGRATS on the first day! can’t wait to hear more about it…..
You are blessed
