Vacation Bible School

How great is Vacation Bible School??? I absolutely love it! It is one of my favorite activities that our church does. Lots of children and adults all come together to essentially teach each other about Jesus and what he does for ALL of us. This year I taught the Jr. High Students that came. They are such an amazing group of kids and I have come to love each one of them for their own distinct personalities! I try not to teach to them, but to talk to them, and dang it, every year, I come away with a renewed respect for them and all they go through, as well as, all that they know. They simply are amazing. And this year, I had the opportunity to "peak" in on Drew while he was participating with his class. It brings me such joy to watch him and to know that he is developing a love for GOD and that someday he will make the same decision that I made. I only pray that he decides to make MANY years before I did. He offered to help take up offering and even went up front to lay hands on someone and pray when the pastor asked in anyone would like to. I was surprised as he is usually quite reserved about these things, but I also know that the Lord works in us all and that God was working in and through Drew. He is such a wonderfully amazing part of my life...I only hope that I am doing GOD justice each day that I am Drew's mom. He has created such a wonderful young man, I just pray that I am doing what GOD wants me to do for and with Drew. I guess that is the ultimate prayer of all parents.

Today was a huge blessing.
Thank you GOD for loving me, my family, and for blessings us in such amazing ways!

Love and blessings,

Teresa
