Operation Space

As I spoke about last week, at church we had our first "Operation Space" meeting. We had a pretty small group come, but we expected a lot less so it ended up being pretty good. I found out more about what "Operation Space" really is, and it’s pretty much just a vacation bible school, but broke down into lessons for Wednesday nights instead of a week-long event. We had about 10 or so kids show up. We had a carnival to get the kids interested, which had different stations set up. My station was the "asteroid belt" which had a bucket of hacky sacks that the kids threw to try to get into the asteroid belt. There are decorations of space everywhere, it looks really great. I hope the kid count continues to grow and that the kids continue to learn about Christ. We all had a great time and I am so proud to be apart of it.

It has been a while since I have been apart of anything really concerning the church or church functions. I grew up in church, and then all of a sudden, I turned 16, got a job that had me working on Sundays and just fell out of worship. I always knew I would be back in at some point because I always knew I wanted to raise a family in church and whatnot. I didn’t know, however, that I would be back in before I started a family. I started dental hygiene school last semester, and was feeling very overwhelmed and as if I had no one that understood what I was going through, even though there were 8 other girls and a guy in the program with me. So I just turned back to God. It was the best decision I have ever made!! I am now able to get through the day, even the toughest of days, because I know someone is on my side, no matter what. It really is encouraging. Not to say that I never have those feelings anymore, of despair or being overwhelmed, but it is just nice to know that someone is looking out for me!
