Craziness

Hello everyone! I am back - did ya miss me?

I have soooooooooooooooooooo many things to update you about but first let me catch you up from VBS (yes the update I promised in July). I really am sorry that it has been so long but life has been busier than the word busy can describe =0)

VBS was great this year but it had some very interesting twists and turns. On the Wed. night we had a wicked storm front come through our area. The power went off about 30 mins into the evening but then came back on.
(But as you may be able to imagine that was enough to scare some of the kids) About 10 or 15 mins later the power went off again and stayed off. Then the tornado sirens went off. (Remember I hate and get very scared in storms =0))We had to get all the kids in the hallway and get them calm. So we sang songs until we could go back to our rooms. Many of the parents dropped the kids off so we continued with the program, using flashlights and candles. I have a feeling the kids will remember that evening for a long time to come. That storm left many people in our city without power for over a week and one of my friend's house was really messed up from the wind and tree damage.

On the Sunday morning the kids took over the service. We had a kids praise team lead worship. A kids stick drama team lead in a special song. A VBS choir sang (and yes I taught the Spanish song). Then our children's pastor preached. It was an awesome morning and God really moved.
