VBS Day #2

This marks day two of VBS and also the day of the much needed nap. (I literally have just woken up and need something to do to wake me up even more before I go to work).

I'm really enjoying leading this. I've missed leading big stuff like this and am very thankful for the opportunity... since school and my new marriage have been my priority the last year.

As for the number of kids we have, here's the story:
In our church right now, in the age range for VBS of kindergarten to fifth grade, we have three kids. Three. In the past I would have been like, "Oh, no! Where are the kids going to come from? VBS is going to be boring cause it'll be so small."
But this year, I was like, "If we build it, they will come."

My prediction for our numbers: Monday 25, Tuesday 30ish, and then 50 by Monday.
Our actual count as of yesterday: 61
Today: 71

Amazing, huh?!

So, I know it's not all about the numbers, but we are really having a lot of fun! And the more kids we have, the more kids we get to share Jesus with.
SonWorld Adventure Park is our theme. We get to pretend we're at an amusement park every day.

My volunteers are amazing and EVERYONE is really where they need to be. It's fun to walk around to each station and see them all at work. They really bless me.

There was a few bumps yesterday... a few things I could have planned for but failed to think about. But everyone has been gracious with me and have given me suggestions on how to make it better.

So, on to Day 3!
