VBS Week!

Every year, there is this week that falls right in the middle of summer. I call it “VBS week.” It’s a week when we have VBS, fittingly (Vacation Bible School). Here’s how it goes… wake up late cause you’re exhausted from the night before, spend all day doing work and getting ready for VBS, survive the evening’s whirlwind of activities, go to bed, wake up late and repeat!

This isn’t a complaining post though, it’s actually a praise. I love VBS week! It’s exhausting, but it’s exhilarating! It’s stressful, but it’s such a blessing. Last night, I had to get onto a little girl who was high on sugar and couldn’t sit still. She kept trying to dive into the burning bush during my lesson. The last time I explained that it could burn her (a light bulb in it, not a real fire) she looked up at me and latched on to me – gave me a big hug!

So let me put it plainly – kids are worth it! I wouldn’t trade VBS week for much of anything!… I’d just give the kids less sugar.
