It's Vacation Bible School week at my church this week. Which means I get to spend 3 hours a n night with 25+ plus or so squirmy 8 years olds. And I get to wear a a gold colored T-shirt with the world's ugliest logo emblazened on my chest. Joy.
Of course that last paragraph was pure sarcasm. I love VBS week! I get to serve Jesus in the coolest way possible: little kids!!! I'm, once again, helping with the 1st. grade class. I love those kids, I get all the cute ones this year. :) Their natural curiosity and infectious zeal for everything they do is contagious. Very contagious. By the end of the week I always find myself playing all the games, throwing myself into singing the cheesy songs (with actions I might add), and colapsing into giggles with the little girls. I adore it.
And this is one of the few times I see my entire church body united for a common goal. As with any diverse group of people, there is always disagreement. But not with VBS, everyone throws themselves headlong into it. From the little 8th graders helping with the nursrey babies, to the old grannies baking treats and mixing Kool-aid. It's really wonderful to see. The church has become like a 2nd family to me. And I heart family.
VBS ahoy!- Emily
