The highlight of my summer has arrived. Since January I have been working with this team of people to bring this incredible idea to reality and now, we're here. Seven days to go! VBX: The Great Experiment!
We met tonight with all the volunteers, sharing in final preparations. I loved sharing the vision with other volunteers and when we broke into groups to pray...wow. My team split up the list of names of children who are already enrolled and we prayed for them by name. I was struck by fact that God is calling each one of these children to him, my daughter among them. I pray that they will respond to Him!!
As far as the work we have left to do, I am honestly, right at this moment, feeling beyond overwhelmed, but I am also peaceful in the knowledge that it will all come together to the glory of God. My method of dealing with stress is procrastination, so I will pray for supernatural focus and boldness.
I know the purpose of VBX is about connecting to kids to God. I know that. I do. But the thing I love about it, the thing that keeps me coming back year after year, is how God uses the stories, songs, and high energy fun to speak to me. We sang songs tonight about counting on God - a very simple truth that I needed to be reminded of today.
It's one of those things that I love about God: His timeless and unchanging truth is deep mystery that man can spend his whole life discovering and never fully understanding yet so simple and accessible.
I'm so excited about the adventures the next two weeks hold!
