Today was an absolutely bEAUtiful day,
I had a wonderful day, I went to work just for a little bit and then the kinda boring part came in. I had to go to school and learn a little bit, but after everything just seemed to be much more fun...
I got to go out to lunch with my Dad, I got to walk the dogs, even if one of them hadn't went to the bathroom on this one ladies yard, it was a total "waste land" Just kidding it wasn't that dad, although we when we went back to clean up the mess, it had magically disappeared. It was TOTALLY CRAZY...
Once the walk was over I went home and started the long process of getting my graduation invitations ready, which was not at all boring, I am having absolutely the bestest time ever :-)...

VBS: What a Sucess P3
Those were some pretty awesome visits that the Children were able to take part in. But the last two days are even more exciting. Encounters with Josephs long lost brothers had left him in utter confusion and chaos...
Day 4
Continuing our journey in "Ancient Egypt" the found Joseph in a "pit of dispare" His long lost brothers had come to visit "Ancient Egypt" from "Canaan" wanting to buy some grain with the same money that they had sold him to slavery for so many years before. This left Joseph so confused about everything it wasn't even funny. He was indeed flustered. However the children were able to help him out a bit, they were able to show him the true path, but would he follow the true path we will have to find out out latter...
Day 5
The verdict was in, Joseph had made the decision that would define him for eternity. After a whole lot of drama, and some very close calls Joseph was able to over come the humanity of wanting to do the wrong thing and take the true path and make the right decision. On top of all of the drama that took place Joseph was reunited with his family...
More importantly though, we had a wonderful closing the children were given the opportunity of a life time. They were given the opportunity ask the Lord Jesus Christ in to there hearts. We had so many more children than expected that made this decision. It was indeed an experience of the lifetime for each and every one of the children that chose the true path. God was so good to us during our visit to "Ancient Egypt". It is one that this author will not soon forget....

VBS: What a Sucess P2
So, now that I've posted my little writers block, maybe you'd like to hear more about VBS during spring break...
last time we finished with ending of Day 1, the rest should fit into this blog or the next one...
Day 2
It was such an interesting day, the flow went so much better and the Children were so much more behaved. The Children arrived back in "Ancient Egypt" to find that the Pharaoh was having some difficulties with some dreams that were keeping him up all hours of the night. When the children could find nothing to help the Pharaoh he sent them to prison. After they were thrown into prison they came to find that Joseph was still in prison and some new things had taken place in his life, he meet some new people, two of which had dreams that needed to be interpreted. Joseph interpreted them only to find that he would soon be in for what seemed to be a world of pain...
Day 3
Day three was probably one of the biggest days of the entire week in "Ancient Egypt" it was an epic event that was thousands of years in the making. Our very own version of the colossal encounter that took place between The Pharaoh and Joseph. it was an experience of a life time for each and every person involved in this eventful day....

VBS; What a Success P1
Oh My Goodness,
Our Spring Break VBS was so amazing that it might just take more than 1 post to tell you all about it... but we shall see...
Our theme this year as you all know was "Egypt: Josephs Journey from Prison to Palace" and it was so much fun...
I was worried that it would not be as much as a success as it was because there was absolutely no response from the community, and we thought the RSC was going to only have like 20 kids show up, so we were thinking that there was only going to be 20 kids for the whole week. Boy was I completely wrong...
On Day 1, we were so flooded with registering children that we didn't even get started until almost 45 minutes after we were suppose to, IT WAS INSANE, by the time we started we hardly had enough room for all of them, I was so blessed, and reminded for just how much our God can prove HE will provide for us when we are faithful to HIM...
After we finally we got started we made introductions and the adventure had begun, the High Priestess; Adriana began teaching the children all about how God gives us Hope, we had a games room, a movie theater, a craft room, and an interacting story room. it was so much fun... the kids got to get introduced to Joseph and his guards Danaan & Tanaan who were in prison, and he got to tell them the beginning parts of his story, and how he got into prison in the first place. The Children so enjoyed getting to talk with him and learn so much about who he was. They got to create their passports for Egypt with Latia and Kita. They wrapped up the Games-master Rasiu like a crazy mummy as his assistant Ramses looked on laughing, and saw part of Josephs story through a moving picture with Sharia and Maria. It was so much fun, in the end Adriana had a celebration of a life time that the kids so loved...

Preparing 4 VBS
Preparations for VBS were so much more than I thought they were going to be, In the beginning I was getting to a point where my head felt like it was going to blow up, which is probably the reason I could not remember to Post on my own as I usually do, life was so hard, but I was soon to find out that God had something bigger in store for VBS...
As I was getting to a point where I just wanted to give up, God provided all the help I needed to make the preparations complete, a lot of my church family just started stepping up doing things, and everything began to work out and even though we were all working until the Sunday night before VBS started we got it all done and everyone had a ton of fun...everything turned out great...It was totally fantastically terrifical... :-)...
I was so relieved and blessed that God provided everything and even more for VBS to be a success and it truly was...

Mid-Term Week
Mid-term week was probably was probably the most stressful week thus far in my college career, my car broke down, problems kept coming up for VBS, my mid-terms didn't go as I wanted them to and I was very sleepy the entire week. Finally on top of all that I couldn't figure out how to do my crazy taxes, so much going on, It was such a hard week for me. but you know what... in the end it didn't turn out as bad as I pictured it would be...
It turns out that my car only had a very minor problem and it cost only $25.00 to get it going again, things began looking up for VBS (which you will find out about later) I'm still really tired but today I got to sleep in for the time in about 2 months, Most of my Mid-Term grades we A's, and I get more back in my taxes then I thought I would. All through it I was forcing my self to do my daily devotionals and they are the only thing that got me through it...
So all in all even though it was a pretty hard week for me I found God and he kept looking out for me the entire time, sending me help, giving me encouragement, and guiding me every step of the way...
What a crazy week it was, and what wonderful memories have been formed...Life can always be enjoyable...

God Knows
It was some kind of day, I spent all my time at work putting together one of the rooms for the upcoming Egypt VBS, it is going to be great. Honestly though Satan is attempting to foil the good that is going to come of this. He is attempting to place doubt in my thoughts saying what if kids don't come, or what if your staff drop's out at the last minute. I can't let these thoughts keep me from singing praises to HIM.
I know he has this all taken care of already, God has a plan for each and every person that comes to our VBS. He knows who he is going to bring and who is going to be changed....
Lord Jesus take this VBS completely from my hands yet again, and bend it to you will, guide us in this last week of final preparations in the way that you would want us to go, bring your Spirit down upon us all as we step into YOUR plan for YOUR VBS, come and take over it all make it yous, bring those whom you want to be here, teach us all what you want to teach us, show us your wonders through this event and leave no person volunteer, staff, parent, or child un touched my your mercies, your compassion's, your love, your will. Move freely through each and every aspect of this event, take all doubt from my mind and fill it with hope, for you and you alone can make this VBS what it needs to be, guide my ways dear Lord, guide our ways...

Trash Bag Anthology
2day I got to play with trash bags, LOL. these things are so useful it is not even funny. They don't have to be used simply to put trash in, you can us them to create things. I cut 1 trash bag up and it covers almost the entire wall in my office @ work. I can use them to make fake walls, a dense cell like room, or even a costume if your desperate, LOL (I"m not by the way). They are really rather cool.
I love it when one can take something simple like a trash bag, and use it in so different many ways. Life can be so stressful some times and then a trash bag can coma a long and make the day worth while. An amazing concept can be drawn from our trash bag. When the world around us is coming down upon us and things just seem to pile up and make things harder to deal with, one of the most overlooked things around us can change our whole out look. Whether it be a trash bag or something small that just gave us that little nudge of Joy, we always have something to help relive the stressful aspects of daily living and it doesn't have to be something horrible or even un heard of. What we world we live in huh!!!
