A Quiet Week Plus a Few EBay Listings

Hey everyone!  Just wanted to let you know that this week I won't be around much on the blog.  I'm helping with the music for my church's Vacation Bible School program, so that's going to take all of my focus and energy. ;)

We got through the first day nicely, so that was a blessing.  There's a good-sized group of kids this year.  I'm looking forward to seeing how the Lord works in the lives of the kiddos (and the leaders, too, for that matter). ;)  I know VBS always stretches me in ways I wasn't expecting, but I always come away with another lesson for myself.  I think this year the lesson will be about flexibility.  For a few years, I was in charge of the music for the opening and closing programs, but being the head honcho was just a little too much for me.  Now I've stepped back to being a helper, which as some of you may know, can be a bit challenging.  It's hard to "let it go" and be there to offer the help that is needed without wanting to take over when things are not going the way I would necessarily plan them. ;)  That being said, my "boss" is doing a great job.  He's really wonderful at keeping the kiddos' attention and transitioning nicely between songs and activities.  A lot of it is "go with the flow" and basically planned as opposed to my over-planned methods of running things, so that's been a bit of a stretch for me.  In a good way, though. ;)

Speaking of "letting it go", a funny story from today.  "A" (my partner in crime aka "boss" from up front) was talking about our verse for the week (Psalm 119:105), and about how God's Word is there to guide us.  Then he asked the kids, "So what song do you think we are going to sing next to help us remember our verse?"  The answer was "Thy Word", but one little girl innocently chirped: "Let it Go?"  Needless to say, most of the leaders were cracking up. ;)

In other news, I have a few little things up on eBay right now (four listings, to be exact).  I'm trying to slowly ease myself back into the whole eBay thing, as I have lots to list in the coming weeks. :}  If you'd like to check things out, you can see my listings HERE.

Oh, and I apologize for the two listings that mention the My Little Pony and Vintage Barbie Pamphlet listings I'm "going to list this weekend".  I didn't get around to those, and I couldn't edit the two listings that already had bids.  I'm hoping to get the MLPs and pamphlets up with the next batch of stuff. ;)

I guess that's about all for now.  I hope you guys have a great week and are staying cooler than we are here (it's over 100 degrees outside and about 84 degrees in my hallway). :{

Talk to you when the whirlwind week is up! ;)
