Replaced

Every Wednesday at AWANA, my mom and I lead the beginning time.  We sing songs, play games, recognize birthdays and generally get the kids all riled up for the night.  It's been so fun seeing all the kids jumping around and having fun. 

It's also a great opportunity for us to get to know some of the kids in the other groups that we don't work with. 

Last week I stayed home because I was coming down with a cold, that is still lingering by the way.  I always thought the shelf life of a cold was 7 days.  Apparently this one likes to put in overtime.  Overachiever!

Anyway, I was gone last week.  My mom brought up my replacement.  She's about 3 feet tall and LOVES to sing.  Zoe is usually in her room during the opening time, so she's never really been around.  Until last week.  She got a taste of the stage and fell in love. 

She was telling all the kids what the songs were, she was the loudest one singing and I heard that other kids were watching her to know what to do. 

She woke up before I had to come to work this morning and asked if she could sing on the stage tonight.  Apparently the excitement of it was so much she woke up an hour early. 

I think I've been replaced.
