Well, VBS at my church is over. In a way, I'm relieved. I won't have to tell Micah to stop throwing sand, Rodney to stay in line or Miles to stop playing and pay attention. On the other hand, there is one kid in particular I'm really going to miss: Ethan.

When he first came in, he was so shy, and cried for his Aunt Patty as soon as we got on the playground. In fact, he left and went to her class for the rest of the day. The next day, he lasted a little longer: until after play time was done. Patty stayed with with our class this time. The rest of the week, though, we were able to make it without her. And this kid isn't really much for play. We sat and talked most of the time, about Teen Titans, the rocks he got from Yellowstone, shamrocks, Jesus and other assorted things. But I finally got him to play a little today...although...he insisted he push me while I was on the swing. We also played on the seesaw. I'm pretty sure he developed a crush on me during the week, because he kissed my hand before I left today. Poor kid ^^;

Not looking forward to getting up at 5am, but Seth (student minister) wants us to get to KY as soon as we can and start inviting people to Bible school. Though I'm not looking forward to the lack of sleep, it's going to be amazing!

Well...I still have a few things to pack. Type at ya in a little over a week.

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to mention the haircut! Ok, quick over view: layered, shoulder length with *gasp* bangs! Ok, so they are long and cut at an angle, but they are still bangs, and my mom can't believe I asked for them! Ok, for real now, bye!

I meant to write yesterday, but I got distracted by ehow, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] silverlightstar. Thanks alot, Marie!

Anyway, the first day of Vacation Bible School was great. I'm in a five year old class, which is mostly boys. And I thought my brothers we aggravating. Not that the kids were annoying, we just had a heck of a time getting some of the boys to listen. This one kid named Miles could not pay attention at all. Our entire class was almost out of the rotunda before I could get a hold of him. I'm just like "Look Miles, they almost left us. You need to listen when I say it's time to go."

Music was the best part though. All the motions and everything...now there's a workout for ya. One of the last songs we sang...which, oddly enough, I can't remember the words to...I just felt the presence of God so strongly, and I cried.

I can't wait for the rest of the week, or to do it all again in KY next week. I'll make sure to get the address posted before I leave, so that you guys can write me if you want.

Well, I have to be heading off to VBS again. Later!
