VBS week went GREAT! I am so blessed to have had such wonderful kids and fantastic helpers. It was a wonderful time and hopefully the kids learned something too. But I'm glad its over. I am recovering from the week (I was sick during VBS too) and trying to pull the house together before Jon gets back. WHICH, BTW, we are COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS! So that means we are super close to the end. YEEEEAAAHHHH!!!!! I'm very ready for him to be home.
As we are nearing the end of Jon's deployment, we are also nearing the end of our Genesis services. For those that have been here a long time, we used to have the Ecotone service at night, and then Genesis was created as a morning overflow plus night service. Its been so long now that we've had it! I've been reminiscing over people that have come and gone, things that we've done in the service, both good and bad, fun times and crazy antics. I have loved serving in Genesis and pray that God continues to use me in the new services as well, in whatever capacity He chooses. I'm sad to see Genesis go, but I know that its for the best. I'm nervous to be entering into the new format in the new sanctuary (as many of you probably are too). But I'm also very happy! I'm happy the church will be "whole" again. I'm also happy that we won't have to tear down and set up a stage and all the equipment every week! lol. I'm sad to think that some of the people I serve with right now every Sunday, that I may not see them every week because of scheduling changes. We have become like a family in Genesis, I don't think anyone would argue with that. We've helped each other through some very tough times, and been there to share joys with each other. I will truly miss this stage of life, but look forward happily to the future. Change and growing can be very hard. It can be hard to change and grow when you've become so used to how things are. But I'm ready for some stretching. ;)
With everything changing, I've been thinking a lot about the future and what it holds. I've been thinking about Jon's next deployment, and whether we will be moved after this next one or not. I've been thinking about houses, and longing for a new home, but trying to be content with what I have. I've been thinking about the Fall and homeschooling the girls for the first time. It's a scary and exciting thought. I'm ready for it, but at the same time I'm definitely not ready. Where will we be? What will we do? What if...? Those questions have been going through my head like crazy the past few weeks. But no matter what the future holds, no matter what questions I have in my head, there are a few things I know for sure. I know that God will take care of us. He will provide everything we NEED. I know that we will be a family, whether we move from here, whether Jon is deployed, whether we stay here or get a house, etc. We will be together. I know that I have friends who love me and whom I love dearly. I know that no matter where we go they will always be there for us. So I may not know what will happen in the next month, 6 months or year, but I do know that its taken care of and that I don't have to worry.
Love you all!
Mya
