VBS Is Over...

Well, another year of VBS is over. It was so much fun this year. I was helping with soccer, and the funny thing is that I never played soccer before! It was such a learning experience...and it was really a time where I got to test my patience. Surely, most of the kids were better than me, but we had an awesome time beating on one another lol! There was one girl in particular, that I became close to. Her sister is in our youth group and tells us how the little sister always sets her up to get her into trouble. I was scared because I thought that she would just be another bratty little kid. I was completely wrong. She was so sweet to me, and really began to cling to me throughout the week. All she wanted was for someone to run with her and to just kick the ball back and forth. One day we decided to wear all pink together, and we had a blast. I don't think that we really matched, but it was fun. The best part of the week was when Pastor Jim shared the gospel with the kids, and two of the kids in our group accepted to live their lives for Christ. I literally had tears in my eyes for the one girl, because I have known her for a long time and it was such an experience to see her open up and to trust God and allow Him into her life! The week was amazing! I made some awesome new friends that are probably about 10 years younger than me, but yet somehow almost my size. I loved it, and I love working with the kids!
