Getting Ready for the New School Year

Well, it is that time of the year when all the stores start putting out items for school. Notebooks, pencils, lunch bags, book bags and etc. I am so glad that I am not in a rush to get school supplies. When homeschooling you have most of the necessary supplies here with the exception of pencils, paper and notebooks. It is such a relief to know I don't have to go out and try to find the best price and can just casually buy what I need. Also, buying the new clothes. Not stress in that. I just buy them when my girls need them. What a blessing!
Next week we are having Vacation Bible School. I am really looking forward to it!! I am doing crafts again this year. I love doing crafts and being creative. I am not really too creative but it is neat to see the other kids and their creations. I am also helping with the decorating of the sanctuary. It was kind of a last minute call but that is the fun of it is to put your ideas together and make it all work! I have been stressing a little because I haven't been able to find nice card board boxes. I had called several appliance places and came up empty. Today I needed to go to the Dollar Store(my favortie way to waste $$)and buy a spray bottle for our little toad we found. Will put pics up later, if we haven't let it go. As I pulled into the parking lot I noticed an Utz truck. I saw broken down boxes in his truck. I thought, wow what a perfect opportunity to get some. I did not see the guy as I pulled in but wanted to stay there until I could figure out what store he was working in. (strip mall) As I was trying to straighten the car in the parking spot I spotted him. I put the car in park and jumped out of my car, asked the gentleman if he had any card board boxes I could use for VBS and he said YES. I was so excited. I thanked him and told him this was a Godsend. It is so amazing how He works. Something as simple as needing boxes for VBS and he provided!!! God is wonderful and mysterious in how he works things out for us. So keep that in mind when you come to God and request something from him. You never know how he is going to answer.

Remember: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" Phil. 4:6-7
