Hello! I know...it's been a while! I just haven't felt the urge to blog in a while...but it's not because I haven't had anything going on...because the Lord has put me to work the past few months! I am having such a good time serving Him. Here are some pictures from our VBS "painting sessions"... I could take a week off just to paint, and paint, and paint! I love it! It's like therapy - It has brought me closer to some of the ladies at church. We visit, paint, and just brag on the Lord, together :) I see the Lord blessing us with unity...there is actually more help than I even know what to do with for VBS!
Last night, painting at the church gave me the opportunity to visit with all of the "cuties" in our church. They were so well behaved as they watched and gave me suggestions on what colors to use and how I should keep the paint in between the lines ;) Well that didn't last long, but it was sweet while it lasted. For Mother's Day, today we handed out cards to each of the Mother's of our church. All the mothers received at least 3 cards (some much more) from those who wanted to encourage them! What a blessing!! (Our ladies ministry sold Mother's day cards for a $1 each and handed them out before services today.) As I passed them out many were so sweet to say something encouraging to me! I had many who asked me how VBS was going...and I have to admit that in the midst of all the events of the day that I was a little envious of all the Mommys ;) But you know what? One lady brought this to my attention and I was so glad; she said "Oh, it will be such a blessing to be around all of those children for VBS; you must be so excited!" And ya know, to tell you the truth...I've wondered a few times, out of all the ladies at church, why was I chosen to be VBS director? And today it was as if God nudged me and said "That's why...because I knew you will appreciate the kids." As we walked away from church I even had a man and his wife roll down his window and say, "Don't worry Savannah, it's coming" :) And I even received 3 cards! HA!
Please continue to pray for our VBS! The devil doesn't want any of this going on...he hates the preparation and as the actual week of VBS approaches I am sure he will pull out all the stops. But My God is as excited as I am!!
