At our 6 year Celebration I preached a message based off of the life of Paul, titled, “Whatever it takes!” The following day, one of our incredible Dream Team members, Erika, wrote a blog post rewriting 2 Corinthians 11 from the perspective of a KidZone worker. I love her play on words! Read it for yourself:
Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in children’s ministry more frequently, been head-butted more severely, and been exposed to bodily fluids again and again. Five times I received from the little ninjas, punches and kicks. Three times I was beaten with Tonka Trucks, once I was pooped on, three times I was puked on, I spent an entire service rocking a baby to sleep, I have been constantly taking kids to the bathroom. I have been in danger from virus exposure, in danger from toddlers with sharp objects, in danger from my own loss of sanity, in danger from kids with anger management issues; in danger in the nursery, in danger in the toddler room, in danger at the elementary level; and in danger from complaining parents. I have labored and toiled and have often covered myself in hand sanitizer; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without getting to a service; I have been cranky and exhausted, and yet still have to smile. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern that all these kids be with Jesus in Heaven.And…it is all worth it.
I LOVE IT!
