These summer months have been extremely busy for me. Beginning in early June my little bro turned 10! WHAT?! 10?! Oh my...
Though he loves pranking me and is a little smarty pants; my life would be extremely dull without his creative (yet often devious) little mind.
Another exciting part of June was Kreative Kids Day Camp hosted at my church. It never ceases to amaze me how God uses six-year old's to teach me invaluable lessons while I am supposed to be teaching them. One of the lessons that struck me was the one involving "dirt". It began with telling the kids that things aren't always they seem and that God always knows what is better. I then pulled out a cup of what looked like dirt and showed it to my campers. Assuring them that it was good to eat and that I would never do something that would hurt them I asked if any would like to taste it. I love the simple belief exhibited by first graders as they willingly held their hands out toward me. I proceeded to scoop this "dirt" into their hands and the looks on their faces were incredible as it dawned on them that it was actually crushed Oreo's.
The entire demonstration was to show them in simple terms that though things may look like dirt, God is really giving us Oreo's. We just have to trust him.
In Him,
