VBS: Getting Creative

Posted in Christian Life

On Tuesday evening, I was a bit down when I did my Wordless Wednesday post.  The Lord brought that passage to mind which helped.  Then, I received such wonderful comments and words of encouragement from y’all.  It touched my heart.  So, thank you very much. On Wednesday, I started to think about creative ways that I could capture the kids attention and encourage them to pay attention.  I created a bookmark for each of the kids with a symbol for each VBS station.  When the kids behaved at that station, they would receive a sticker for their bookmark.  I had…

You are the Salt of the Earth

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

This week at VBS D and I have been quite challenged with some of the kids in our group.  We spend so much time focusing on keeping them in line that we’re concerned with whether or not they are learning anything.  We walk away completely spent each evening.  Yet, there are moments here and there where we can see a little glimmer of hope coming from these particular kids.  It is in these moments that we can really see that we are the salt and light here.  We have to keep going even when we feel that we’ve reached our…

I need to get some snacks together for Munchkin as she usually can’t have…

All of Creation

Posted in Christian Life

All of Creation by Mercy Me Separated until the veil was torn The moment that hope was born and guilt was pardoned once and for all Captivated but no longer bound by chains left at an empty grave the sinner and the sacred resolved [chorus:] and all of creation sing with me now lift up your voice and lay your burden down and all of creation sing with me now fill up the heavens let his glory resound Time has faded and we see him face to face every doubt erased forever we will worhip the king [repeat chorus] ohh…
