What a week!!

This week was a crazy one!! We had bible school each night this week. Not to mention a swim meet and dance rehearsals going on. Thursday, we went from the swim meet to bible school to finish up for the week. After working at Palmcroft VBS the last few years, I was used to close to 1000 kids, so after the first night with 65 kids I think I was a little disappointed. I had to stop and remind myself that it's not about numbers, it's about sharing the love of Christ with the children that God sent to us. Some of who didn't attend church regularly and who would go home telling their parents what they had learned. Each night we had a few more and ended up with 86 kids eager to sing and dance and ready to hear a story from the bible. The kids would come from rec with Bobby, full of excitement and always WET!! (It was hot all week so he had them doing fun water games including going after the pastor with water balloons on the last night.) I loved working with the ladies in crafts and the kids all seemed to like what we had planned for them. Here are some of the "Flower St." children that came with us. Alexa was able to come with us each night and Nick, Ben, and Justin came for 2 nights of fun!



Friday night was the dress rehearsal (see Friday's post to see her dance) and then Saturday was the big dance recital. Tiffany was in the hip hop number and did great!!



This is Tiff's dance teacher, Stacy who worked with the girls every Tuesday for months preparing for this one night. Tiffany enjoyed being in her class.



And Tiffany's bff, Alexa, who finally talked her into trying dance. Next, she would like to try a jazz class.

So, that was our week. Whew!! I am glad it is over but loved being a part of it all.

Your family is a great example to so many - I bet that little church will be growing like crazy - "let me just share one more thing"!!! Looks like a busy BUT fun week!
