Home At Last

We arrived home from Campmeeting late Sunday night. It was a bittersweet homecoming. I could live at campmeeting forever. I simply LOVE campmeeting. But it was nice to be home again. We had so much fun at campmeeting that we were all exhausted and it was so nice to be able to sleep in late yesterday morning. I was sooo tired and ended up taking a long afternoon nap. I slept in again this morning, and am feeling quite refreshed.

Our Out of Egypt Program went very well. In fact, it went better than I had imagined it would. The kids had a blast and so did the leaders! It was amazing to me how attached I became to the kids. They were fantastic. And there were a few who really needed love and I felt so honored to be able to hug them each day and talk with them. I wish you could have been there! It was really wonderful. I can’t wait for next year. While I was getting things ready for our class I came up with a new idea for our theme for next year and can hardly wait to plan the program! But first, I have two back to back VBS programs to plan. We had planned to go with Castles and Crowns, but after our success with Out of Egypt, we decided to just do that for our VBS programs instead. I want to provide a VBS program for not only 4 – 12 year olds, but also ages 0 – 3. So I am writing a program called Baby Moses especially for that age group. I am so excited! The programs will eventually be available in book form and for download for those of you who are interested in it for your own church groups.

I will share some photos (we took lots and lots of photos) with you later. Right now, I need to get back to catching up on chores and finish unpacking!
