Overwhelmed!

We had a wonderful, crazy day!  Great services at both Parma and Jackson locations and sweet time in prayer for God to bring revival in our lives, families, churches, communities....and so on.  

Then we attended a grad open house.....the girls love the selfie booths :P

Vannah and Kenna with Celia.....the awesome graduate!

THEN.....it was time for VBS to start.....and we traveled to Tanzania...

Storm Weathers.....Channel 9 Weatherman

Katherine Kent... Channel 9 DIVA....she's never really this happy, but I like this stuffed lion....the face reminds me of Aslan.....how can a stuffed animal look so kind?

Dave Dawson did an incredible job on the set!

ZEBRAS and ANIMAL PRINT EVERYWHERE!

Katherine giving Storm an earful about having to ride an elephant for three and a half hours to reach the camp because her taxi broke down....at first, Storm thought that sounded fun.

Our Jackson church's exterior is also getting a face lift right now.....lots going on at VHC!

And, as of yesterday, all the drywall was complete for the children's wing at VHC Jackson....so excited to be able to start splashing some color around in there soon :)

I could feel overwhelmed right now.....I was thinking of that last night...so much to pray for....so much to do.....so much to plan for....and the Big Daddy Weave song, Overwhelmed, started playing in my mind.  I wanted to listen to it, so I pulled it up on Youtube to watch the video and it was so funny (as in coincidence) that in the video, Big Daddy Weave's band was in Tanzania.  I was like, "Seriously, GOD, this is how it starts?.....you are hilarious!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiGb14tTaH4  AWESOME!  My peace from God last night was that no matter how crazy life gets, the only thing that should ever overwhelm me is GOD'S AMAZING LOVE and all the creative ways HE SURROUNDS ME IN IT EVERYDAY!
