He is Able, More than Able, to Accomplish What Concerns Me Today

Ahhh...it's over.

A few months ago, I was asked to consider being the snack coordinator for our fellowship's Summer Bible Blast (aka Vacation Bible School). I confess that my first inclination was to pass that endeavor on to some other lucky person, but as I was praying about it, I realized that the only reason I didn't want to do it was because I didn't want to be bothered and that's not a good reason to not serve God and others. I had the time, the resources and through prayer I could obtain the knowhow, so why not? There should be an element of sacrifice to our worship and this was a way that I could give of myself, so...I accepted.

I'm happy that I did.

There were a few moments here and there when I felt a sense of panic rising from somewhere deep within me and I thought, "What was I thinking when I took this on?!?!?" but each time, I just told myself, "God has always proven Himself faithful to you before. Keep doing your best and watch Him work out everything else."

Months of planning, five days of serving and 1500 snacks later and once again, He proved Himself.

I was blessed with a wonderful crew of people who stocked drinks, baked cookies, filled dixie cups of trail mix, etc. TONS of food donations came in from the congregation so we were actually able to stay under the budget allotted to the snack department. The closest thing we had to a crisis was when one little girl declared that she didn't like SpongeBob popsicles, so yeah...it went pretty smoothly!

Now it's over and I can focus on finding people to come over and fix our roof and bathroom...fun.

Just because posts are much better with a picture, here's one I took of the kids yesterday. Delaney's determined to get contacts soon, so she left her glasses off. Don't look at the dead part of the lawn in the background, okay?
