So this past week, I had the greatest opportunity to serve in our church's Vacation Bible Adventure. I was a crew leader assinged to five kids out of 38 in my whole group. Matthew and Hannah were in my group which was nice to get to enjoy this week with my kids. Some of you may know that when in Blythe, I was the VBS director for our church, 1st Southern Baptist for four years, I had never actually worked one on one with the kids and I have to say I LOVED IT!! The kids were amazing. All in all this week there were about 400 kids in attendance. Totally amazing.
The theme was kind of like Indiana Jones where "Indy", "Anna", and "Jones" were trying to find the Lost City of Gold hoping to get eternal life. Of course there were many obstacles with "Wiener Schnitzel", "Jack-in-the-Box", "Hans" and "Gretal" blowing things up and keeping them from their goal to find the city. Turns out that Indy found eternal life in Jesus and realized finding the treasure wasn't as important as having Jesus in his life.
The best part of the week for me was Thursday night when my son Matthew went forward and prayed to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Very exciting night!!! Now I know my son has a place in heaven for eternity.
However, I must say I am thankful for the week to be complete and life to get somewhat back to normal. I am super tired and my body feels like I put it through a pasta dough roller...back to my accounting classes and looking for work.
