VBS


As Serena and I walked home from the graduation ceremony for VBS we walked with our arms in the air, just like Rocky did at the top of those stairs. WE CHAMPIONED VBS! That was quite possibly the hardest children's ministry job I've ever had. Its a tie with my week at kids camp last year, and if you know how I feel about kids camp, you'll understand that VBS here was no cake walk.
But I can honestly say that I can now make a VBS out of nothing. We had nearly no money and barely any craft supplies, no fancy curriculum, no videos. We had a few teachers and a desire to reach out to these kids; and I found out that that's all you need.
Praise the Lord Serena and I are getting a break. We'll be going off to St. Georges for three nights and spending some valuable time with our missionary Rev Jacque at her house and also spending some valuable time on Grand Anse beach! haha. I think we deserve some tan time. : )
God, You are so good! You get me through the hard times and You never let me down.

Complacent.

Complacent. To be satisfied with ones current situation. To not move away from one's current location. To be stuck. To be dry. To be ok with mediocrity.
How can one person look at their life and say, "Alright, I'm good, I don't need to achieve anything else. I'm happy with everything just the way it is." Maybe its just me, maybe I'm the only person that can't be satisfied. I cannot be satisfied with mediocrity. This trip so far has been teaching me to press into the Word and to press into God. I will not be satisfied with what I had with God. I want more, I want it all. I want to be always moving, always growing, closer and closer to the Lord. I never want to be stuck and most of all I never want to be ok with that.
