Little Lambs

Well, yesterday started VBS week and let me tell you, I crashed yesterday when I got home. I don't know what it was, but I was so pooped. Maybe it was because I'm not used to handling 18 ,just recently graduated, kindergartner's practically by myself or what, but anyway, it's been interesting. We had a lot more than we expected and about seven of the kids in my class are from daycare's in this area and it seemed like all I heard was, "What are we doing next?", "Where are we going next?'", "Do we have music?" , "Where's music at?", "Will anybody be dressed up in music?","Are we going outside?", "I don't want to go outside" or I got this from some of the students "I don't want to do that", " I don't want to eat that", "I don't want to paint" and so on and so on. But I prayed before this week started that God would help me get through it. The teachers and workers at VBS may be the only Jesus that some of these sweet little kids see, so I want to make sure that my attitude is in tune with God's. My purpose it to try and further His kingdom and give Him all the glory. In the k5 area, we are short of workers so it's been a strain on all of us to get this week ready, but God has definitely been with us. I prayed that He would help my attitude this week and to help me be able to do what He wanted me to do when I don't have the resources. He has filled my heart with joy that only comes from Him. He brought an extra worker today to our class, who I later found out was specifically skilled in painting children's hands and feet, and she was a huge help in getting our craft done today. Who would have thought that you would need to be skilled and creative in painting a child's hands & feet, but let me tell you, you do. I also have a youth worker who has been such a gem and done other things that I haven't had the time to do.

Honestly I really wasn't looking forward to the stress of this week, but God has truly been there and helped me physically when I have been really tired. We have been really busy here at home and so adding VBS week to the mix has been challenging but we are making it. I think my three chillies have all enjoyed their time so far at vacation Bible school too. They are just too cute! It really is so sweet to see their precious faces singing songs about Jesus and learning the sign language that goes along with it. I can just imagine God's face as He sees these little lambs worshiping Him.
~Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world,
red and yellow, black and white,
they are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
