High Five For Friday

This week has been the kick off to our summer craziness.  It was just last week that Geoff and I felt like we were doing nothing, and this week we feel like we're barely going to have time to relax.  But its all ok, because this is what summer is about!! So here we go, my top five highlights of the week

1. This week has been Vacation Bible School at our church.  I volunteered to teach the Bible story to the two youngest groups, and of course I roped in Geoff to help.  At the beginning of the week, I was super nervous and felt like I had no idea what to do.  But last night when I told the kids goodbye (we only had a four day VBS due to a wedding at our church this weekend) I was kinda sad to see them and the week go.  It was awesome and just reaffirmed that I'm supposed to be teacher.  Now if only I could get a job...

2. I've been working a lot at Sam's Club, but I got paid this week.  WOOO HOOO!! That makes all the late nights and long hours sooooo worth it.

3.I finished reading Heaven Is For Real.   I know I'm a little late on reading this one, but wow.  This has completely changed how I believe in Heaven.  I firmly believe that we will recognized and see our family members and friends in Heaven.  I think what I am most excited of all to see when I get there is the face of Jesus.  The way this little boy described it, I can't even fathom in my human mind how beautiful he could be.  If you have not read this, do it. This little boy's story will make you laugh, cry and completely change the way you think of Heaven.

4.  I started teaching music lessons through the YMCA.  So far I have a flute student and a beginning piano student.  I didn't realize how much I missed teaching music.  I'm looking forward to seeing where this job takes me.  Now if I could only get a job teaching music in a school...

5. Peggy (Geoff's mom) and Abby (new employee at CED Joplin) is here with us this weekend to help with inventory at Geoff's work.  We love having company, especially when its family!  Although, I'm sure Peggy, Abby and Geoff would much rather not have to do inventory.  As for me, I just like having company to visit with into the late hours of the night!
