"lia watch this!" and then emma she's so rad she has these star temporary tattoos on her face and then grayson is hysterical, and kenneth is so adorable, and I'm so happy because he's started to make friends, and this one boy! HIS NAME IS SO RAD HIS NAME IS FRICKIN GIDEON I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. his hair is so awesome, it's like brown and it's down to his shoulders.

The girl who wiped the #1

Vacation Bible Study was the reason I looked forward to summer vacation as a child.

I still remember VBS songs from my childhood that I’d sing as a lullaby to myself when I was scared or when I knew not what else to do. The lyrics were bible verses, and they always helped me press on.  (They still do)

When I entered the sanctuary hall, the sounds of His creation's laughter and joyous singing filled my ears and one glimpse of the stage filled with His dancing and laughing Children was all it took to light up my heart.  It only makes sense that one of the youngest at the VBS grew so excited that he didn't want to leave the worship hall.. and so he decided to hold his "#1" in the pews. Until he could hold it no more.

Story pause. Side note: I was the only "new volunteer/visitor" and though I so badly wanted to join in the singing and dancing, at that moment, He called me to wipe up the yellow puddle that the little one left behind. Oddly joy-filled (probably because of all the songs being sung), I did. I was/am glad it was me wiping it up, and not one of the brothers & sisters leading the Children in praise. He needed them to lead this VBS, and He called me to fulfill a different, specific role. And Something made me incredibly grateful for the role He gave me.

Story resume. Someone saw me wiping. I imagined that the stage lit with all His light and rejoicing Children would've been the main attraction of the evening, but someone spotted me (and the yellowish-white pile of paper towels) in the pews and felt the need to announce & recognize my "services" (which I would've much preferred to be kept between Him & me)... I was dubbed "the girl who wiped up the #1" - I did not know how to respond. I felt my cheeks turn a bright shade of red when I received applause from the VBS crew..   But, hey, if He was glorified through it, I don't regret this new nickname. Instead of being "T.G.W.W.T.#1" though, I picture myself as "the honored fly on the wall." I was honored to be there to witness my brothers & sisters planting seeds of His Spirit into the little hearts present in His house.
