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!!

WOW and so impressive! All those boards look so professionally done!
I had to look twice to realize it was you sitting between all those kiddos! I love the rich brown hair! I have hilights now... we kinda switched! (I am trying to cover the GREY!)
I cannot wait to hear how all this plays out! Those people have such a golden nugget in their midst! And I cannot wait until we see you again! I think I may travel to WA just to see you off on the plane! That still seems a long way off too... But I know time is and will continue to FLY! Love you! J
Looks like a lot of fun... who is having more fun - the kids or you??? ;)
