I can't wait for Camp

There's not been a whole lot going on around here, except getting ready for camp. I'm so excited. Our theme is The Anchor Holds. I am going to do my cabin devotions on I am Persuaded-The Anchor Holds No Matter What We Go Through. I am going to use Scriptures on the following things to help us stay PERSUADED.

Patience
Earnestly
Remembrance
Strong
Unquenchable
Ability
Doubtless

Home

Well we got back home last night. We had a wonderful convention. I was very tired after a 5 hour drive with my crew. I spent the last hour of the drive trying to work a rubix cube with 3 noisy children in the back. I went in and worked a couple of hours at moms daycare today, but I spent most of the day being lazy. Tomorrow I will have to make up for that. My hubby is working at cubscout camp during the evenings this week. I can't wait unitl youth camp. It's the first week in July and Bro. Horotn is going to be our evangelist. I am going to be a senior girls counselor this year, which I love.

It's Raining at Our Convention

We are at a motel getting ready to go to the last day of our state convention. We are having a wonderful convention. Unfortunately Bro. Kramer had a death in his family so he had to leave early yesterday. But before he left he gave a wonderful address based on the theme "Let it Rain". He also read appointments before he left. Our guest speaker, Maxwell Rollins, was supposed to preach last night, but he didn't get to because the Holy Ghost took over. Last night at 10pm there were still many praising God in the altar. I hope this is a taste of what we are in store for at the general assembly.

Back to the land of the living

Wow! This has been a really stressful year at school, even though I love teaching. I never realized you could have a class with so many children that have problem homes. I'm really enjoying summer. I am looking forward to getting to know my new class after summer. My own children are growing so much. Jonathan is taller than I am now. They are also growing in the Lord.
Not long ago I was in charge of gleaners and I told the children we were going to do something differnet. I had 4 children there. My 3 plus Anthony Dyers little sister Charity. I told Charity I wanted her to be in charge of prayer, I wanted Joseph to be in charge of leading singing, Allison in charge of testimony service, and I told Jonathan I wanted him to be in charge of the scripture reading and activity (technically he is no longer a gleaner). They took their jobs so seriously. Jonathan was thumbing his index and highlighting things in his new VLB Bible. When it was time for him to get started, you could tell he was really nervous so we prayed for him. He read a Scripture from Proverbs about how a worm doesn't need anyone to tell it how to find food. He talked about it and read a Scripture passage from Micah about being steadfast and not being sluggish. He expounded on these scriptures. He talked to the children about how even though they are young there are things they can do for the Lord without anyone having to tell them too. He gave them each a piece of paper and told them to numer it to 5. He told them to write down 5 things they could do for Jesus without anyone telling them to. Then he got a piece of paper and hung it on the wall and numbered it to 10. He used that to compile their list. I was so proud. It went great.
Awhile back Allison came running in the house saying "Mommy, Mommy Is it true?" I said is what true? She said, Joseph told me if I was scared that I don't have any faith in God. I said, scared of what? She said snakes and things like that. I explained to her that for one thing God gives us wisdom to be scared enough to stay away from certain things. I also explained to her that their are things we are all scared of and we have to pray for God to give us more faith.

Well maybe now that it's summer I can keep up with my blog.
