Last year I was in charge of VBS at our church and evidently everyone thought I did at least an o.k. job at it because no one was beating down my door begging to direct things this year. So here we go again and frankly, I'm having a blast organizing it so far! We're using LifeWay's VBS again and I'm really pumped about the music. We've been listening to the songs for a couple of months now. No, I'm not kidding. The kids and I have regular jam and dance sessions (shhh, don't tell the pastor!) and I get such a kick out of watching them and being ridiculous and laughing with them.
This morning was no exception.
I was having a rough morning with a certain male child and felt "the wall" quickly approaching so in order to save the last bit of sanity I was holding on to I turned on the VBS music "real loud" per Abby's request.
Too bad I still hit the wall.
Truth be told, I really really like this year's music. Yes, it is cute, but it also has lots of good truth that I find myself singing in my head over and over throughout the days. There is one song in particular that I've found really speaks to me where I am - in the midst of fussing, whining, feeding, diapering, wiping, all the glamorous parts of my day. And it helps so now I'm going to share it with you, well some of the words anyway.
The song is called What I'm Gonna Do. The part that I really like says "Gonna pray for the wisdom to know how to live my life. 'Cause I want the way I live to lead others to Christ. So I know what I'm gonna do, I am gonna live in ways that honor You." Um, yeah. That will really get ya as you're hot on your way to throwing a pity party for yourself over your child rebelling against naptime and then being Mr. Cranky Pants. I need to keep living in a way that is going to lead my kids to Christ and that will honor Him.
The song is based on James 1:5 which says "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him."
Something to think about.
