Saturday Blogthingy: It is soooo hot...

We are finally getting our summer here. It was 31 degrees Celcius yesterday. So hot that I turned on the fan. This is only the second time that I have had to use the fan this season. Sad, but true!! I do not like it when it is that hot. I would rather have it in the high teens to low twenties. My Dad (who doesn't put shorts on until it is 20) loved it yesterday...

Well, it has taken me all weekend to recover from Vacation Bible School. It was a great time. We had so much fun and the kids did, too. This was the first time that we ever received a Thank-you present. (Kernels Popcorn) That was a nice surprise!

Today Jonathan is playing drums at a different church and then I am going grocery shopping and picking up my sister. My parents are in Rosebud at the Dinner Theater with their Love Circle (small group of married couples). So, I thought we could bring Jenny over here to hang out with us. May even haul out the pool.

I only have Maggie 3 days this week. This upcoming weekend my parents and I are taking the kids camping to Camp Jubilee. (Girl Guide camp that we go to in Cochrane) We rented one of their small cabins (sleeps 6) and Aidan and Granny are going to sleep outside in a tent on Saturday night. Aidan is really looking forward to it. Emma...well she has no idea! I am looking forward to it, too, as I LOVE camping. Jonathan does not. He is looking forward to playing Poker and watching what he wants to watch on TV. Bachelorhood again!

Since we are finally having some summer out here I thought a summer themed blog thingy would be appropriate. I am sensitive, actually, although I hardly let people see it. Only those that know me pretty well. I can't take criticism very well, that's for sure. And I am a people pleaser, not extremely so, but I do want people to like me and am hurt and confused when they don't. So perhaps there is some truth to this, after all...

You Are a Snow Cone

You are lighthearted, playful, and optimistic about the world. You're always having fun, and you're not the type to turn down anything sweet. People might be surprised to know that you're very sensitive. Even though you put on a brave face, your feelings are easily wounded.

What Frozen Treat Are You?

One More Day!

There is one more day of Vacation Bible School. This week has just flown by, like it always does. It has been great. We have loved every minute of it. The kids have, too. One of the parents told my Mom that their kids are having a blast and are always singing the songs. That's exactly what we want them to be doing!!

Today was Jesus' day (Thursday always is). It was amazing. We were singing some songs and the kids were really getting into it. I just got goosebumps all over my arms. Those kids are great and are learning about God. The simple things. The things we as adults make really complicated. It reminded me that we just need to focus on God's Truth and not on our human way of thinking about things. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

God is Powerful and He cares for us! He does what He says He will do. He gives us life. FEAR NOT!!

Tuesday Tunes 38: Everlasting God

FEAR NOT!!

If I am not on much this week, it is because I am doing Vacation Bible School at my parents' church. It is a lot of work and a lot of fun.

It has been teeming rain all afternoon. It has stopped thundering and lightning for awhile, so I was able to come online and read some blogs. (Not all, but some.) Hopefully I will get into a pattern this week and then I will be able to focus more on other things. One day down..four more to go!

I hope that you are all having a lovely day. I will try to blog more tomorrow when my head is not MUSH!!
