Vacation Bible School Has Officially Kicked Off!

Good Evening, Everyone—and welcome to Blog #301!

“Why such a late blog?” you may ask. Well, as you know, I have been studying lessons on obedience for my Cradle Roll class. You may also know that Vacation Bible School kicked off this evening at my church.

Well, y’all—the Cradle Roll class is on it!

Seeing as how I chose a theme about obedience, I started with one of the greatest examples that I could find in the Bible—to me, anyway. Let me rephrase that—I found several lessons on obedience, but seeing as how this was the inauguration of VBS 2013 at my church, I chose one of the biggest examples in the Bible. As my pastor would say: “If y’all would turn with me to the book of Genesis and the 22^nd chapter…”

Yes, I spoke to the Cradle Roll about how The Lord instructed Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac.

Now, I will admit that there were some crucial moments for me, mainly because Vacation Bible School is slightly different from Sunday School. Another crucial moment was that I really didn’t know any examples to relate this particular lesson to the Cradle Roll, but guess what, y’all—The Lord proved Himself to me and provided me with my very own ram in the bush! I honestly don’t remember what I said, but I do know that I taught that lesson with my whole heart. When it was all said and done, the Cradle Roll was asked to give a review of what they learned, and they made me proud yet again. My top student Beverly represented the little kiddies and gave a lesson review that was just as good as (if not better than) the elders’ review. Beverly did such a great review that she received a standing ovation, and it was another one of those moments where I ran up and gave her a big hug and kiss as though she was my very own child. Yes, I know—I don’t have any children of my own, but y’all know what I mean!

Well, that’s it for this evening, but I’ll be back tomorrow with another blog for y’all. Tomorrow’s lesson in obedience will come from the book of Jonah. I ask that y’all pray for me as I study this lesson and be able to present it to the Cradle Roll class.

Until tomorrow, y’all take care.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
