It's God Time

Hey! I just finished my God time cards for this week. How are you doing with yours? I have the four cards I made hanging up in my office door. I learned about Abraham and David and Jesus and ME! I am part of God's promise and that is pretty cool. Knowing that God is with me helps me have JOY when things are going so well.

Today things are pretty good. The sun is shining--but I think rain is coming. My dad is doing pretty well too! Thanks so much for praying for him. And we got to play giant twister last night. ANd it's almost time for prom. Pray for me as I stay up all night to help at Trevor's after prom. I will be very tired on Sunday. I am breaking my own rule about going to bed early, aren't I????

I will see you on Sunday. Love you guys
Ms. Dawn

Great Night Last Night

Hey! Last night at HiSKidZ was great! You all did such a good job with your unity projects--working together as teams. It is God's desire that Christians work together in peace and y'all did a great job. Some of you sure are skilled and the "stand back up" game we played.

Keep in mind our Revival is coming in just about 2 weeks. Mr. Shon is coming all the way from North Carolina, and it is going to be GGRREEEAAATTT! Don't forget to get good rest, take your vitamins, get your homework done, and bring a friend. CUSoon!

It's Snowing. . . .again!

I love snow, but it sure makes it hard to plan sometimes. Tonight I am heading off to the see the Newsboys with the Jr/Sr high kids and a couple of HiSKidZ, too. Hope everybody had a blast at the Y. Aren't you thankful that the pool got fixed and everyone who wanted to got to swim? I sure am. I saw many acts of kindness that night. People sharing towels, helping with each other's stuff, helping out in the pool and in the gym. Way to go! I am so proud of you! Have a great day, and way to go to the Titan Girls Basketball team on their way to state finals!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!

We're BAaack!

OK Deb is forcing me to update the blog! Are you ready to go swimming Sunday night at the Y? I am going watching! What did we learn about this week? I'll give you a hint. It starts with Kind and ends ness. Let me know if you know what it is!

God Time

Today I am in my office at church looking over the God time cards for this week. Day 4 is soooo good. It reminds us that initiative has 2 parts. 2 count em 1, 2--SEEING what needs to be done and DOING it. God says when we SEE someone who needs help, you need to DO something about it. This week we learned about looking for ways to care about the people we love. But you don't have to know someone to care about them. Two ways you can show love to someone you don't know are to save your allowance and donate to someone in need or to take some of your old, but good clothes and toys and donate them to a group that will give them out to people in need.
Maybe you can think up your own creative way to help others. Let me know Sunday what you came up with. Well, I'm going to dress warmly to watch Trevor play football tonight. GO TITANS!!! What are you doing this weekend? Let me know what kind of fun you plan to have--and look for ways to show initiative while you are at it!

Are you looking?????

Are you looking for ways to show initiative this week? I am! In fact, I am going to take the initiative to tell you a joke. RU Ready???? Ok! Did you hear about the new restaurant on the moon???? Well, the food is good, but there's no atmosophere! lolololololololololololololol
Get it???? No Atmosphere!!! Oh my that's a good one! Hey hope you are signed up for skating. We leave tomorrow at 5:30. See You Then!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!!!!!

tODAY'S QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS. . . . . (drumroll please)

The midwives in our story from the book of Exodus in the Bible showed initiative by protecting the Israelite babies from Pharoah. What did God do to reward the midwives for caring for those that they loved??????

I spy with my crazy little eyes

Here's Ms Monica with her CRAZY eyes in class Sunday. Remember this week to be looking ways that you can care for the people you love. That's an awesome way to show what. . .

INITIATIVE, that's what!!!!!!

Who is that masked man?

Here James is a masked man. He played the part of a pharisee--they tried to hide behind the laws instead of just listening to Jesus and doing what he said. James looked pretty cool in that mask, don't cha think?

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Some of you may know Chris Cook. He's the youth/children's minister at Bowen Christian Church and he was one of the dean's of Jr. 3 camp. Here he is with some of our kids in a "Lazarus" contest at Walk Thru the Bible Sunday.

Question of the Week

What was the name of the guy who showed initiative by leading a group of people to rebuild Jerusalem's wall in our story Sunday? Anybody know?

Jacob got caught . . .making the wise choice

Jacob Duffin must have been listening Sunday. He went home and took the INITIATIVE to help his mom out when she wasn't feeling well. I heard there were some dirty dishes in the sink, and Jacob washed them all without EVEN being asked. How cool is is that? High Five to you, man!

Congratulations Macey!!!

Macey Black sent me the right answer to all of my questions. She knew John the Baptist ate locusts and honey, and she knew 2 ways that Joseph had to trust God. Way to go, Macey!
