Serving in Vacation Bible School

Kingdom Chronicles is the name of the Vacation Bible School curriculum that our church used this year.  The publisher is Answers in Genesis.    It was very fun and exciting for all of us to participate as a family this year.



Our youngest son played "King Christopher" in the play.  He had done such a wonderful job reading his part.  He's had such a difficult time with his Dyslexia and Dysgraphia through his elementary years that this time is a triumph for him!  He'd had a hang up reading in front of others, stumbling over his words, but this time, although he read a little slower--he did great! 



Each of the young folks did such a wonderful job!  They love doing skits for VBS.  My daughter loves this so much that she's asked to be able to do voice and drama lessons.  

The Lord works in mysterious ways.  If He has placed this desire in her heart for His purposes, then as her parents, my husband and I need to help her in positive ways to develop those talents for His glory.

If we do not, we will be hindering the Holy Spirit.  

...and I don't want to do that.  We don't know what the future holds for her or for the young men in our home for that matter.

I praise God that each one of the young folks want to honor and glorify God with their gifts.

Our oldest son played Prince Robert, one of the "immature" princes who needed to grow up.  He did a wonderful job portraying the prince.  His character gave his heart to the Savior as a part of the play at the end of the week.  I love watching my kids having fun serving God!  What a lovely and wonderful gift to behold by a parent!





Yes, there is a little boy throwing a sponge.  My daughter is directly to the left, helping where she can.  This was my Kindergarten class, throwing wet sponges at the poor soul who volunteered to get in to the stockade for the sheer pleasure of the kids.


My Mr. G facilitated the games for the week, but didn't get in to the stockade.  He had volunteers for that.



My class...so very excited to throw sponges at my youngest son!

Yes, they had some pretty good aim too!  LOL

We had a wonderful time serving the Lord this past week for Vacation Bible School as a family.  Each of us had a different role, but each of us worked and had so much fun in the process.  Serving God as a family is such a joy!

Praise God!

It IS Really Ok!

Six years of struggling and working and repeating and forgetting and not getting it and banging our heads on the wall [his and ours] and praying and praying and praying...

...and precious...



....blessed...



...progress...





For those of you who are teachers will see lots of things in this particular spelling test, which isn't a test.  It isn't even a pretest.  It's a "lets see how well you know these word patterns" exercise.  It is not a test.  It is not graded. 

Here are some things I would like you to notice~
  •  Out of 25 words, only 1 word has a flipped letter in it!   For a boy who was diagnosed as having dyslexia and dysgraphia, this is REMARKABLE! 
  •  You CAN read his writing!!!!!

While these may be strides that a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grader might be struggling with, these have been the issues that my youngest son has been struggling with for over 6 years.

Just ONE letter!
One letter out of 25 words! 

Add to that, Victory Drill Book and Easy Grammar, reading all kinds of books and a Momma and Daddy who refuse to give up AND he is reading Bible verses on his own with very little help from us [words like Nebukudnezer aside].  


Such WONDERFUL reasons to PRAISE God!  :) 


It is REALLY "Ok!"
