Ultimate Road Trip
Well, another week of VBS has come to an end. We had our commencement service yesterday evening in which all the kids shared what they'd learned for their parents. It was great to do the songs one last time but at the same time bittersweet. I get just as much of a thrill out of doing them as the kids. Oh well. Faithanne and I stood in the balcony while the kids stood down front facing their parents. That way, we'd still be able to prompt them - just in case they needed help. Once again, I thank God for blessing this Vacation Bible School with His love and grace. It's so incredible to see Him come down and work in the hearts of these children and leaders. None of it would have been possible without Him. I hope to do it all again next year!
Anyway, today has been fairly quiet. I've been working mostly on a Bible Study lesson for tomorrow evening. See, Doug Blackburn, our Sunday School teacher who normally leads our college Bible Study group Tuesday nights, is out of town for the week. He's gone to serve as a chaperone for high school students down at Myrtle Beach. So he asked me if I wouldn't mind stepping in to lead the discussion on Tuesday night. I immediately accepted; I was so excited! He said I could pick any story or any theme that suited me to talk about. I decided to stay close to the material we'd been covering in James. I'll be talking about how Christians rejoice in the midst of suffering. I really like what Paul and James have to say about this topic. So anyway, I would appreciate some prayers on that end. I've been praying as well for this message, that God will take it and use it for His glory.
And that's pretty much all the updates I have at the moment. I can hear the distant rumblings of an approaching thunderstorm just outside, so I don't want to stay on too long for fear of losing power and my computer crashing.
Song of the Day: Overflow - "Cry on My Shoulder"
Verse of the Day: "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed." - 1 Peter 4: 12-13
