Whew! Its been super busy the past week or so.
Last week (June 28 through July 2) we had VBS at Fowlkes Baptist Church. I have 5 5th and 6th graders at the beginning of the week then 8 by the end of the week. We got to VBS about 5 or 530 everyday. It started at 6 and went til 830 then we left about 845. The kids were great. They learned a lot, seeds were planted, some accepted Christ, but more importantly we loved on the kids and just had fun.
Also that week (June 29 through July 2) we had a Backyard Bible Club that morning from 10 to 12. VBS in 2 hours. We got there about 945 and left about 1 each day. Most of these kids had never gone to church some didnt even know who Jesus was. So it was great to plant seeds and see these kids really grasp and understand. I had 20 or 21 5th and 6th graders. Overall there were 75 kids there. We had fun with the kids and seriously loved on them. You could tell some of them just needed a hug and a smile. The last day (July 2) we had a swim party at the park we were at. The kids had so much fun. I taught a few of them how to swim, saved one from drowning, and went down the slide way to many times.
It was busy, crazy and we were tired by the end of the week, but I loved every minute of it.
I went home Thursday night after family night. 1st time traveling on my own in the dark. The on Friday I went to my stepdads family reunion at the Ocoee River and Lake with my parents. It was fun. We went tubing at the lake and floating down the river a lot. Good food and fun family times.
Today (July 6) we went to Finley Baptist Church and held a VBS day camp form 9AM to 630PM! We taught 3 Bible studies, taught music, missions, crafts, had a swim party, watched a movie, and had a small version of family night. It was crazy and tiring but fun. I had 12 5th and 6th graders and all but 2 or 3 learned their memory verse in one day before we went swimming :) I was so proud of them.
Many seeds have been planted this summer and I can't wait to see what God is going to do next. Continue to pray for these kids that the seed that have been planted won't just stay planted but that in the future they will grow. Even if I am not around to see the result, at least I did what God called me to do...plant seeds and be a messenger.
Tomorrow morning we are headed to cave city to do a mission trip. We will be transferring records from paper to computer and anything else the church we will be working with needs done.
Well I'm not sure if I will have internet or not...so I wil update when I can.
Thank you for your continuous prayers. They mean a lot. :)
