Between our trip to the Bahamas and the girls spending a whole week in Senatobia, I feel like our little family was apart for most of June. The two big events in June for the girls were two different VBS- both "Surf Shack - Catch the Wave of God's Amazing Love" -- our church and FUMC in Senatobia did the same VBS theme this year and the girls learned a lot and had so much fun at both!
I knew Elizabeth Magee would LOVE VBS -- especially in Senatobia where Siggi was her teacher. I wasn't sure how much the twins would get out of it but they are little sponges. Mary Thorne especially loved all the singing and walks around saying, "Remember that the Lord is great and awesome."
One day during VBS, during Bible Times, the children got to the choir loft and hear the organ (our organist was really sweet and played some kid songs so they LOVED it on those big pipes) and see the pretty stained glass. On the Sunday after VBS, we are driving to church and Poppy says very loudly, "God is stuck in the windows." We tried out best to explain to Poppy that God is NOT stuck anywhere....but she wasn't convinced. When we sat down in church, I looked up at the stained glass windows......I guess I can see how she thought that:
The VBS story on Thursday, was Jesus calming the storm. After VBS in Senatobia, the girls went to Net's pool to swim. The wind was blowing. Mary Thorne looks up, raises her hands and says, "Stop." Of course the wind does not stop. She looks at Mom and Net and says, "The wind isn't listening." Siggi had to tell her it's because she wasn't Jesus.....
I loved that they had so much fun in Senatobia. They played with new friends and I hope they can do it again next year!
