Sunday school, Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder? Wha?

As I hit the door, the sound of his cry got to a much deeper place in his heart " mommy, I don't want to stay in class, mommy I'm tired, mommy..." Perhaps it was that his cousin was with us this morning, or he was tired from a late night slumber party and a rushed morning, but this morning my son did not want to stay in his Sunday school class.

Truth be told, he was verbalizing what my heart wanted to say. Father, I don't want to be at church, I'm tired, Lord..... Was my internal cry this morning. I slept on the couch last night so my nephew wasn't alone down stairs which got me no sleep. Woke up late, 20 minutes before we had to leave, got myself, three kids ready, and breakfast for the road in the car in 25 minutes flat. Now before I get mom of the year, here is the truth... my hair was wet, my makeup like lady gaga, breakfast was a tubeez (yogurt in a tube) and the boys hair look like Stevie Wonder did it. But the one thing that was most jacked up this morning was my attitude and heart.

I promised Noah after I took Caleb to class I'd come back. By the way Caleb decided to cry to ;( , ok feel sorry for me and lets move on. Ten minutes later, I went back to Noah's class and he was fine, helping the teacher and no longer crying. The teacher gave me the thumbs up, he was fine and go to service. I promised my boy I'd come back so I went into class and his smile melted my heart. It was the, the knew you'd come back and thank you mommy smile.

I stayed the whole class and I was so blessed! They didn't have any helpers this morning so "who knew" ;) I would be needed? I got to observe my son play, interact and serve. Even the bible study given by teacher George that was broken down to a 4 year level spoke to me. I totally enjoyed myself in this class, I cannot thank God enough for the gift that the teacher and his wife have with our kids. When class was over Noah walked over to me and in the cutest voice he said " thank you mommy, for coming and staying in my class with me, and helping me calm down because I was crying, your the best mommy ever."

Then in my heart, I said " thank you Abba for making me stay in this class with these kids , helping me change my heart through them and serving. Your the best daddy ever!"
