VBS update


What a wonderful day we had today. We had three of the five kids that asked to come to VBS show up at our house at 8:00 am today. I was nervous the kids would be shy and not get into it all. The whole way home Daniel, Allie and Manuel were talking over each other to tell me about their morning. Daniel (who is in 5th grade) who so excited to tell me all about the ABC's and how he learned that Jesus is the only way to heaven and just how easy it is to ask Him to live in his heart. Allie made a comment about all the "extra stuff" you have to do (she is coming from a Catholic background) and Daniel told her "that is the cool thing, I learned today you don't have to do the extras! Jesus is enough!! Isn't it so good to know that our Jesus is enough! To see kids get that excited the first time they ever go to VBS or any other church type of acitivty like these three, and to walk away with the message of Christ, touched my heart so much!! Thank you Lord for opportunities to serve and that You truly are enough!!!

(I have a sweet picture of the three kids getting into Brent's car this morning that we will post when Brent gets home from his trip with the camera!)
