I must first tell you about my horrific experience from last night before any discussion about today.
As I got home from last night's worship service I was super excited to be able to just relax, take a shower, read my devotion and get in bed. However, God constantly reminds me that my plans will not always align with his plans for me. So, as I turned on my shower, I noticed that one of the glass sliding doors was off the track and not moving properly. As I went to re-shift the door back onto the track, the entire door (and I literally mean the ENTIRE door) shattered right there on the floor. I have never in my life seen glass crumble like I did last night. The only remaining part of the door was the two outside frames.
So as I picked my chin up from off the floor I stood in utter amazement and disbelief at what I had just witnessed. Immediately following, I thought to myself "How on Earth am I ever going to explain this one?". As I gathered my thoughts, I quickly called Dalene and Murray in to break the news. They were extremely sympathetic and understanding of the situation. I still feel horrible and am now insisting on paying them back for repairs.

Today was a really great day. For starters, during our mission portion of Holiday Club today, I was surprised with the presenting of my very first delivered letter from my Nanny & Papa. Upon giving me the letter, Greg (main leader of 6 &7s), the leaders and our 80 sixth and seventh graders prayed for me. What an awesome start to the day.
I will say that my ninja turtle outfit was spectacular, even though it lasted less than an hour. My homemade mask and stick on turtle shell fabric just weren't suitable for the day's activities. Another leader from my group, Bill, also dressed up as a ninja turtle so we were twins today. I am extremely excited about tomorrow's dress up theme- crazy pajama day! That is right up my alley!
At the end of each day of Holiday Club the leaders of each age group meet together to eat lunch, discuss the day's events, plan for tomorrow and pray. This has become a part of the day that I look forward to each afternoon. As the group of 15 of us gather around the lawn and fellowship together, I am reminded of how great the body of Christ is and how important it is to work together. In just three days, I have developed some amazing friendships with the other leaders that I am working with. We as Christians are truly one huge family.
I can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow. In the meantime...I'm staying away from all glass objects.
