VBS

The girls are going to VBS this week for the first time ever. I told them it was Vacation Bible School and Reese was pretty excited. She always envisions the people giving her her own bible, even though she owns four different ones? I think she expects an adult bible study since she has seen me doing them and having one here. Either way it always makes me smile when she makes comments like that.

Yesterday they learned that God knows them, today it was God listens to me. They received a prayer journal and a picture of themselves framed. I love it! I noticed Reese's prayer journal had a LOT of pictures already drawn and colored in it so I started to talk about what a prayer journal is. I don't use mine enough so she's probably never heard of one...or maybe seen one? oops! Anyway, I gave a few examples of how we could use this and talked about what it is.

I then said "Reese be thinking of someone or something we can pray about later tonight and we'll write it in your new prayer journal" She looks right at me with a very serious look and says "Kangaroo's!!!"

:) Looks like we'll be praying for kangaroo's tonight. Love love love this age!!


Another VBS update:
We were listening to that worship song "sing sing sing" in the car from the girls cd I bought them. Both girls had their hands raised and I heard one of them said "you hold them up like this to Jesus when you sing" I think my heart about swelled three times it's size. I asked them where they heard that and they said the at VBS!! I think I smiled all the way home. Precious!
