What a Week!

This week, our church hosted a God-inspired and God-led Vacation Bible School.  What a great time we had!  I was blessed to participate and am rejuvenated to work even more for Him.

Because our children numbers had declined some in the past years, we planned for 30 children...and scrambled and God provided as the 48 showed up for the sessions we had planned. Truly, what a blessing.

At one point, I stated, "Next year instead of my planning, I just need to ask God how many He's going to send to us.!"  Yes!

We began our VBS on a Sunday afternoon, and at 5:45, I still needed one position to fill so we could begin.  Knowing that I could fill the position myself, I was not stressing, just believing that God would provide, when up walked a junior-high-aged visitor, who wanted to know if she could transport a group.  I wish you could have seen my smile at that exact moment, at that exact moment when God confirmed His Faithfulness to me once again.  Yes, ma'am, you may transport!

Many happy moments came out of this week:

• Isaac, a fifth grader, living with his grandmother, who became my right-hand little man.  Whatever I asked, he completed.  Now, may I bless his life as he blessed mine.
• Evan, the 18-year-old, very beautiful, granddaughter, who just recently came to live with her grandparents, who wanted to help in any way she could...put her in the sound room because, of course, she understands technology.  By week's end, I had invited her to my Sunday School class...and she accepted the invitation.
• Jake and Mallorie...a married couple who are now both living for the Lord as Jake just got saved a couple of weeks ago.  They filled in many spots this week...encouraging kids, hanging signs, taking pics, assisting in crafts...just showing up and seeming to have a good time.  I invited them to Sunday School...Jake is planning to attend (Mallorie has a family baby shower to attend...will see her next week!)...Excited, I am!  Yes!
• The Kitchen Crew...the first to arrive, the last to leave.  Feeding all, both physically and spiritually. Always dishing up smiles.  My friends.
• Pastor Kenny, who worked 14 hour days, then came to VBS with a smile on his face every night.  A blessing.  
• This list of blessings could go on and on...and on...

Tomorrow morning, at the request of Pastor Kenny, our VBS'ers will sing special music as they perform one of the theme songs "We Stand," such a powerful song, made so much more powerful as these words come out of the mouths of babes for Christ.

This energy, this synergy must go on, so, yes, of course, I have another event, or two, planned!

Blessings!
