Vacation Bible School

Marissa really enjoyed VBS this year. She learned a lot and loved having lots of her friends there with her. Both Kyle and Marissa just love the music they learned there and listen to "Crocodile Dock" almost daily. Marissa sang up on the stage several times - her favorite to sing was "This little light of mine". One the third day they asked all the children who remember the verse from the second day. Marissa raised her and and said the whole verse (including the book, chapter, and verse number) on the microphone. I was so proud - it actually brought tears to my eyes :) She used to be rather shy and now to see her singing on stage and speaking in front of so many kids just overflows my heart with love for her and how she is growing up. There is nothing more important to me than teaching my kids about Jesus and watching Marissa share God's joy with other children is so wonderful.
