First I had to deal with no air conditioning in the house for four days. Now I know I should be tougher, but I've kinda of gotten used to my house being 78 degrees. When my bedroom reached 90 in the middle of the night, I'll admit it I complained. Lucky us this happened on Friday, so it couldn't be repaired until Monday.
This was not the best time in the world for the AC to go out either. We were beginning Vacation Bible School on the third day of our air being out. So I lacked sleep the first two days and never really caught up.
This year I not only had the privilege of being the director I also had the chance to teach in the Bible story room. This proved to be a challenge. One I wasn't afraid of, just meant more work.
Without much thought, I didn't realize I would be working with children 13 to 14 hours a day. This ended up wearing me out. Still there was a joy in seeing the kids absorb the Bible and the teachings. They could answer my questions and it was fun listening to their responses.
To top my week off, Wednesday for some reason the heavens opened up depositing 4 to 5 inches of rain in less than 3 hours. My helpers who arrived way before I could get there were texting me that streets were closed. Flooding was everywhere and they didn't know if they would make it. Then it hit me without the ones who were stuck, we were down a chef, craft leader, 3 guides and my skit performers. Oh my!
I was a bit overwhelmed as I was now trying to make my way to the church. Prayers were said and I'm happy to say everyone made it. We ended up having
So even when the floods come, obstacles try to steal my joy, and make me grumpy and tired I will continue to trust in the one who keeps me safe. He is my refuge and will always be my guide.
