over the weekend.

my body is covered in sporadic little bruises.
and i'm sore in places that i didn't know existed.

this can only mean one thing: i spent the weekend decorating for VBS.

 in the pastor's yard.

 we love our meagan.

5 things i learned this weekend:
- sometimes people just don't change. and all you can do is move on.
- i can still play the piano one-handed. i'm thinking of taking lessons so i can use both hands.
- my sunday school kiddos love "bible pool". (check back for more on that later)
- my daddy can build anything out of cardboard.
- when a seemingly single young man comes to church, i'm all of a sudden on an episode of love connection.

4 things i am thankful for:
- the creative ways the Lord speaks to me
- clean drinking water
- people who help because they simply want to with no strings attached.
- a great morning at sunday school.

3 things i'm looking forward to this week:
- VBS!
- VBS!
- VBS!

1 thing i read:

"in our world of stress and tension, teach us love that conquers fear.

help us learn to love each other with a love that constant stays;

teach us when we face our troubles, love's expressed in many ways."

-would You bless our homes and families.
