Not really sure what to name this post, to be honest.
I am part of the servant’s team this year at CBS. I am the teacher for the Baby Class, that means kids under 18 months old. I watch the babies while their moms are in their core groups and teaching time. I certainly dropped off my kids for hundreds and hundreds of hours at CBS from 2002 through 2021, and I am glad to be on the volunteer side of things in this way.
However.
That means I have to arrive at 8:30AM so that we leaders can have our core group and praying time. And by default, that means Johanna and Katriel have to also go at 8:30AM.
We leave our house by 8AM. They bring a LOT of school work to do from 8:30AM to 10:15AM. Then they go to their class. I pick them up around 12:15PM after all the babies have been picked up and my room is clean. And then we head home. And if we are really lucky, we start OUR school by 1:45PM, after we have eaten and unwound a smidge.
It is really hard.
We are tired.
We are behind in our lessons. Too many Thursdays we don’t have the wherewithal to start looking for split infinitives and quadradic equations at 2:45PM.
But if it was easy, it wouldn’t be an offering. It seems really hard to imagine doing this for another 20 weeks. So we just focus on one week at a time and trust that God will help us to sow good things.
