I have discovered that the busier I stay, the better. I am not able to sit. I have taken on some small tasks and am quite happy about them. I can do them with the kids, so that is good, too. I have recently been helping with the Boone Area Children's consignment. It is run by two Christian ladies here and is open to 200 consignors twice a year. The items that are not sold after the 10 day sale are donated to Hope Pregnancy Center, a Christian organization that witnesses and helps teens and single women with unexpected pregnancies. They are a wonderful organization. So I am volunteering with them until August 31st. I am also finishing the murals I've started in the nursery rooms at our church. I have been so excited about getting back into a creative setting. It has also been such a blessing to go to church on Sunday and Wednesday and hear the children talk about the new pictures on the wall. I had to fight my perfectionistic ways and paint the pictures in a way that looked like the kids did them. Each scene is a different way that kids can minister to each other and to adults. The nursery committee had wanted Noah's Ark, but I was against that. The only reason they do NA is because the kids like the animals. The lesson in God teaching Noah to trust Him, even when what God said was unbelievable, is lost in the animals. So I proposed we did the room in a ministry theme, to teach the kids to love others as Jesus loved us. It has been very cool to hear the kids say, "Look! That girl is bringing groceries to that boy because his arm is broken!" or "That Big boy is reading the Bible to his baby sister. I can to that for my baby sister when I learn to read." It has been awesome! So, today we are going to the church to paint and tomorrow and Saturday will be spent at the mall doing the consignment. Sunday after church, the A-Team and I will head over to ASU to invite the students to Sunday night church and our family night supper on Wednesday. So, if any of you need to reach me, call my cell phone!
