2008 in Review

2008 has come and gone already.  It sure seemed to go by quickly…sometimes a little too quickly!
January
The year started out with me beginning to work on Power Lab VBS (Ah Ha!).  I was also homeschooling Michael.  We were pretty on top of our schooling and things were going pretty smoothly at the time.  I was [...]

VBS…Finale’

Last night was our VBS Finale’! It went GREAT! We had those big blow up jumpy things (yeah…I don’t know what they are called), a tent for dinner, and a cotton candy machine!
I didn’t get a chance to eat…I had so much stuff I had to do…so much running from inside and out! [...]

VBS…Day 4

88 Children in 1 week went through our VBS. Let me just say, if your church is doing Group’s Power Lab, it will be a success! The children were absolutely loving it! I have heard a number of children talking about what other church in the area was doing Power Lab and [...]

VBS…Day 3

15 more children!! We had 83 children Tuesday night! Not to mention we had quite a few volunteers missing because Tuesday is church softball night and swim meet night! Talk about crazy!!
Things are still going smoothly…I’m so impressed at how my volunteers are not only excited, but getting into character! It’s [...]

VBS…Day 2

Last night was so much easier than the 1st night. Things went smoothly…registration didn’t take much time, children knew what to expect, their anticipation was up. I didn’t need to run around as often as I did the 1st night.
We had 68 children last night…I was glad to see it grow!
I feel like [...]

VBS…Day 1

Ok, so I’m a day late, but wanted to get this down.
Sunday was such a long day! I was at the church by 8:15 am to help the Children’s Ministry Director make sure all the teachers were in place. When I get to church, I usually park far away from the door to [...]

VBS

I am up to my eyeballs in VBS stuff! I’m swamped with all the little tasks and trying to pick up those dropped balls get last minute things all cleared up.
I’m so happy to say, I’m not really stressed…I may change my mind when all the children show up on Sunday, but right now [...]

Prayer Covering needed!

I have never been hit so hard by Satan’s attempts to drag me down as I have these past couple of days! I know it has to do with my involvement in what God wants me to do…Praise & Worship, Teaching Sunday School, & VBS…and with Kevin getting involved…Sound team.
Michael is showing signs of [...]

Overwhelmed!

I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed with VBS! I think I’m thinking too much…trying to figure out too much detail right now. I’ll be having another meeting here in the next week or so. Hopefully, things aren’t so confusing to me by then!

Dream

Apparently, I’m not anywhere ready for VBS!
I had a dream last night that it was time for VBS, I had all these kids and workers and no organization at all! I hadn’t assigned any Crew Leaders any of the children yet and no one was listening to anything I said!
I get weird dreams like [...]
