"I want to experience what it feels like to be doing exactly what God wants me to do and to feel His presence throughout this experience." These were the words I wrote down going into the week of VBC.
Our team took great efforts to break from the traditional concept of VBS and be open to a new way of reaching kids for Christ. We prayed that God would help us to seek out leaders who had a willingness to be led by the Spirit, a heart for building relationships, and a joyfulness that was evident in their personality.
We prayed that the message would be clear and relevant to the lives of the kids who came. We aksed that God would protect us from falling into the trap of "filling holes" or getting caught up in the details or challenges that would arrive. And inevitably, we did face challenges, but what an amazing experience to be in the presence of God and feel His hand guiding us throughout the week.
He orchestrated something beautiful that we got to be a part of and for that, I will be forever grateful.
