Mopping.

I've grown to love doing things i hated to do.

Growing up, at home mopping was a chore.

At my work, it's just a habit.

But at church, i feel a deep happiness.

The first time i used a industrial mop bucket was after church events when we would help the Eteaki family as they took the role of Setuata Fale or church janitor. An arduous and messy but deeply necessary part of a church.

Now at my full time job, daily duties require me to use a mop every day to give the fire station a refreshed start for the incoming shift. Standard.

In my important job, i get the honor of mopping our church hallway. A floor that has held the footsteps of heavy hearts and joyful smiles.
Glancing at pictures of pioneers that established the United Methodist church in our little but growing rural town... and being thankful to be there.

I look forward to being here all the time now. Not just Sundays.

Quick question, if you could hang out with Jesus anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I love you.
(Romans 10:14)

Some seasons feel heavy.
Anxiety.
Uncertainty.
Grief.
Starting over.

Yesterday, Pastor David reminded us that one of the most comforting promises Jesus ever gave was simply this:

“I am with you always.” — Matthew 28:20

Not just on the good days.
Not just when life makes sense.
Always.

Maybe someone needed that reminder today too. 🤍
