I've just started working my 8th VBS in a row! We are doing Saddle Ridge Ranch at my home church, Morrison Height Baptist Church. It's a lot of fun and this year they asked me to be a missions teacher (go figure)!
I love having the opportunity to teach the Word and to teach missions to these precious 2nd graders that are in my room. Today we learned about a family from South Africa who works with the XHOSA people to run an ostrich farm! It is amazing to me the different ways the Lord allows His name to be proclaimed throughout all of the earth!!
As a family we were very humbled a few days ago when our Children's minister asked if they could donate the missions money received during the 5 days of VBS to our support raising efforts. We were asked to turn in pictures of our family, the ABC campus, and Malawi to be shown each day as the offering baskets are passed. Wow, I can only say that I was speechless. We are simply in awe of the different ways that the Lord is leading His people to help us raise support to get to Malawi. I am honored to be able to see the fruit of His labor in person. So many times the Lord blesses us and we don't recognize or realize it. How many gifts, honors, blessings has He given that I'm unaware of or that simply went without giving thanks? I pray each day that I will see His work around me and in His people. And that I will remember to praise Him for all that He is doing and will do! The Lord is sooo good! He is awesome! And when you open your eyes to see the everyday blessings, big and small, in your life you will live again in AWE of Him!
