Volley Ball

Last night was so much fun! Michael and I arrived at church about an hour early and set up some of the sport equipment for the kids. We are disparately in need of a Volley Ball net ya'll so here we are set up with two poles and an imaginary net playing volley ball! We had so much fun, Michael, recognizing our patheticness, tied two ropes up so we could at least know if it "went over the net" lol my honey is so ingenuitive. (if you know anyone looking to get rid of a volley ball net, let me know) Anway, we had so much fun "playing" volley ball. Really we were just being goofy, seeing who could hit it the hardest and kick it the highest and waving our hands around like idiots trying not to get hit in the face by the ball. At one point some of the little kids joined us. At the end of the night just about all of the kids were out there playing. Even the little kids were playing and the youth were holding them up so they could hit the ball over the "net". It was such a blessing to watch.
Speaking of which I love it when a plan comes together. Sunday night was rocky, I was planning on doing a bible study about "making wise choices" and how that almost always involves "getting out of your comfort zone" I always try to start the study time with a game to get everyone loosened up and ready to talk. Unfortunatly it took them a long time to pick up on the game and we only had 20 min left for the lesson time...to be continued. So Wednesday night I asked if they remembered what we started talking about and one of them says "being in the world and not of it" I was soooo proud! We had such a good lesson about how we need to be aware of what goes on in the world so that we are not taken by suprise and how making wise choices means looking to god for the answer and how sometimes his answer means getting out of our comfort zone. All that packed into about 30 minutes! I have to say I absolutly love those kids and love seeing them make so much progress from week to week!!
