Sorry its been so long since I updated. Its been crazy and God has been showing me a lot. I have grown in so many ways and I didnt realized until today in You are Specials. Debs taught me how to be open and willing to change. I am no longer concerned about myself rather I am concerned about others and investing in their lives. These past few weeks have been a blast with my Little Lions. A few stories:
1. I asked Seth whose Seth he was and he said you and miss Megan's from TN.
2. I was teaching the Kindergarten Bible story about the man on the mat who couldn't walk and his 4 friends carried him on a mat to Jesus and they lowered him down to Jesus through the roof. Well then Jesus tells the man. Get up, take your mat, and walk. So he gets up and takes his mat and walks. We were acting it out as I told it. well Tavis said really Jesus can do that and I said yes. He said, "Woah! Thats cool. I totally believe in Jesus."
3. I told Tucker (3 year old) to put the wood chips in his hand down and he said, "But Miss Kacey, I 'm just trying to give everyone the keys to power."
4. Hannah Banana (3 year old) had comes up and said, "I have wood chips in my panties." I looked and sure enough she did. So we went to the bathroom and fixed that problem.
5. My class was walking to lunch on day and we walked by the registration table and I said say "Hi, Mrs. Mo." Well Brandon a four year old in my class, said that then looked at Miss Debbie and said, "Hello Miss Jesus" haha I laughed so hard.
Oh the things kids say and do!
The week of July 13-16
July 13 was Pinata Day and I worked with the Kindergartener's because the other teacher was at youth camp. But it was fu nand the kids loved it.
July 14 was WATER DAY! They had a beach ball sprinkler and we used the little tike cars and had a car wash! Then we had relays with a sponge over their head and they had to squeeze it in the bucket. Then we had a cup with a hole in it. They filled it with water put it on their head and ran to fill up a bucket. Then we had a big blow up water slide. And 2 slip-n-slides and we use snow tubes to go down them.
July 15 we had messy games day! By far my favorite. First they put their face in a pile of sugar and pulled out a tootsie roll. Then they put their face in a pie pan of chocolate pudding to get a gummy worm. Then the best they got to paint the teacher's faces with pudding. Then added sprinkles and whipped cream! It was a blast! I laughed so hard and loved every minute of it.
July 16 We had foam noodle games. and the kids always love that.
The week of July 20-23
July 20 we had bubble day. Four year olds love bubbles and are so cute with them.
July 21 we went to Kids Zone in Truckee which is a big indoor play ground and
activity place.
July 22 we had parachute day and they loved it too! I was a big kid myself.
July 23 we had our first musical practice. Musical is on Wednesday and a slideshow of summer. You can bet I will be crying.
I started crying this week. I cried holding kids at PNO because I realized a week from then I would have to tell them bye. I cried during You are Specials on Saturady because I realize how much I have grown as a person and in Christ.
God is definitely not finished with me. I have learned we will never be done growing until we reach eternity. I know God has big plans and I am closely listening to Him about what they are. I have had the best summer of my life. I don't want to leave these precious kids and their families. I don't want to leave the staff and church. I love it here and the scenery is just an added bonus.
Thank you for your continuous prayers and support all summer. Continue praying until I am home at 830PM July 31. I am going to pour out all I have in me and in my heart this week to these kids. Pray for me as I have to say see you later. Because its not going to be easy. They have a big piece of my heart.

It's Not About Me, It's Not About Them, It's All About My God And Serving Him
Sorry it has been so long since I have updated. We have been super busy and its been hectic around here. Team issues have arised but of course thats gonna happen with 12 girls living together so we fixed those. I have been forgetting to do some little things around here and we all have which hasnt made the staff to happy so we are having to work on some things. But I got upset over a lot of it then realized It's Not About Me, It's Not About Them, It's All About My God And Serving Him. It's about furthering His kingdom not pleasing people. So in the future I will fix the things that have went wrong this week and move on. Things are going great with Big A and I love my kids so much. I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left here in Tahoe. I also can't wrap my mind around the fact that Josh comes home on Monday. It's crazy how fast summer is going by.
The past 2 weeks at Big A.
June 29 Our class went to the maritime museum and saw boats. They loved it.
June 30 We had share day so all of the kids brought a toy from how and shared it. For Bible story we told the story of Jesus Calming the Storm. Well we used a blanket as the boat, a fan as the wind, and a spray bottle for the rain and told the story. The kids loved it. And we talked about how if the wind and waves obey we should as well right.
July 1 I went to Wild Island Waterpark with the older kids. All of the teachers are on a rotating schedule to go. It was a lot of fun. One of our kid was swinging before he slid down the slide and his head busted open. It was a small cut but deep and he had to have 2 stitches. But he never cried or complained. He said he was completely fine. So we fixed that.
July 2 We had Nerd Day and it was so much fun! Pictures are on FB. Our Bible Story was about Paul and Silas in prison for preaching the good news. Well we built a prison out of big blocks and acted out the story.
July 6 We had Fantastic Food Fun. The kids played games with food. Our Bible Story that day was about Rahab and the spies. So we made binoculars and the kid love them!
July 7 We went miniature golfing. It was interesting with 4 year olds. They each get a turn and you play any open hole haha. We told the story of Jesus Feeding the Five Thousand and Miss Gayle acted it out with the class.
July 8 Miss Gayle was at Wild Island so I had all my Little Lions by myself but it was great. We told the story of the Battle of Jericho. We built up a wall of blocks and marched around it and used shakers we made out of paper towel rolls and beans to bring down the wall of Jericho. It was also Balloon Day that day and they had a lot of fun with that.
July 9 We had All Fired Up here and they brought pottery for the kids to paint. Thay had so much fun! We reviewed out Bible Stories from the week and these kids loved it.
I also had AM A+ Bible Story this week and it was about Samson. Well I think I have only heard about Him once that I can remember so I had to do a lot of studying and preparation to make it fun and exciting. It turned out really well and the kids learned a lot and enjoyed the fun.
The Fourth of July here was fun we cooked at ate a good dinner as a team then we went down to Commons Beach to watch the fireworks. It was good team bonding and fun!
Continue to pray for Tahoe and the people and kids here. Pray for our team and our staff as the summer is coming to a close. Pray that all would work out good for the kingdom and God's glory! Pictures of all of my summer are on my Facebook page.Thank you for your constant prayers and support.
