A Family of Five

Tonight is AWANA at our church.  It's a children's ministry for kids up to 6th grade to learn verses, play games and hear some story about Jesus.  I attended AWANA at our church when I was little.  At 8 years old, it's where I heard the story of salvation in a way that made sense.  It was because of my AWANA leaders that I went home, verified the story with my mom and accepted Christ as my savior.  This ministry is near and dear to my heart. 

For the first time ever, this is a family event.  I'm co-directing the younger kiddos, N is leading the older boys, Zoe is in the Cubbies program and D and E get to come this year.  Tonight will be the first week we're all going together. 

Two years ago I never would've thought this day would come.  I never would've believed we would have D and E during the week and that N would agree to be a leader.  Today it is that way.  I love to see how God has worked in the lives of my family.  To Him be the glory.  May each of us grow in Him this year through AWANA.
