Yes, I am still alive!

Hello to all my blogger buddies! Sorry so long since my last post, but it has been a VERY busy couple of months. My co-workers agrees that our employer should provide beds and showers on the job cause so many of us are basically living there. HA! So I have been working lots of overtime, trying to job hunt inbetween and also working on VBS stuff. We've been in Bible school all week and tomorrow night is our commencement and cookout. YIPPEE! Our theme was "Going Buggy For Jesus" and each class studied a different insect in the Bible, teaching spiritual lessons from the every day lives of little insects. Believe it or not, you can REALLY learn a lot from these little creatures! We've studied ants, bees, moths, spiders, and butterflies. Everyone has worked SO hard and God really blessed us with an average attendance of around 45! I had so much fun teaching the primary class....just watching their little faces light up and really get excited about EVERYTHING we did, brought such joy to my heart! The cool thing was that ALL of my 8 kids were not regular attenders. Oh, how we need little ones! Our gleaners are growing up into VLB's and we are asking the Lord to send us some little ones to take their place.... especially for my Sunday School class. I'm sure the Lord will be answering our prayers in just a few short weeks....as we will be gaining a new pastor that LOVES kids (he's done a pretty good job of filling the house at his current post of duty:) I am personally excited about them coming and can't wait to see what God has in store for us this year! And I am thrilled to be gaining 3 new youth! WOOHOO! Of course, it has been tough knowing that I'll be loosing the 1st and only pastor I've ever had. We've shared SO many wonderful memories over the last 10 years that I will never forget. I think I will miss his dear wife more, though:)... as she has always been my role model of what a Godly woman should be. But I trust COMPLETELY that God knows exactly what he is doing and is always working ALL things out for our good... AMEN! Well, it's been a long day and the bed is calling my name. Please do remember me in prayer that God will open a door to another job. I just want HIS will, even if it is not a job "I" would pick. God's blessings to all of my brother and sisters in the great Church of God!

So glad that you have made an appearance in Blogsville. You have certainly been missed! Will be praying with you concerning a new job.

Thanks for sharing your experience in VBS. Sounds like your class has had a wonderful time.

Well it took me longer to have faith that she would post ever again so it's been about five days for me to find it! Sis, I will be praying about the job...maybe you've already found it, but SURELY you will post when you do! So we will all pray fervently until we hear from you again. Lots of love and hugs...Sis J.
