Kookaburra Coast: VBS 2022

G'day friends! We came off of our Kookaburra Coast VBS a little over a week ago and I'm still singing the songs and talking the "lingo"!  We had a pretty great week. This was (hopefully) my last year of directing.  It was a great experience over the last two years, but I am ready to pass the torch to another eager volunteer :)  
Ready for some Awesome Adventures!

This was the theme from Regular Baptist Press this year.

Mrs. Cheryl teaching about Moses and the burning bush.

Makena Faith was our craft lady again this year.
I am proud of her and how she is always so willing and eager to help.

"From the bush to sea, to the mountains we see God's glory"
The kids loved singing the "Kookaburra Coast Theme Song"

Makena Faith was also our tech lady!
When you are member of a small, rural church, you wear many hats!
I'm not going to lie, there are times when I long to belong to a big church! 
Somewhere that you could just get lost in the crowd if you chose to, because let's face it,
that ain't happening in a small church! 

The oldest class, singing their little hearts out.

These are our kitchen ladies.  We fed the kids nightly.
Not snacks, but meals. From hot dogs & chips to nuggets with mac & cheese,
these ladies did a great job serving!

Mr. Luke looking all cool.


The kiddos always love the "train"

We made it through the week with no major issues. The kids learned about Moses' encounter with God's glory as well as learning different facts about some of God's great creations in the Australian Outback.

"Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let they glory be above all the earth."
 Psalm 57:5

Much Love,
Beth

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
