Vacation Bible School is the best and most exhausting weeks out of the whole summer. However, with all of the chaotic-ness amongst the children, they are learning about the most important book in all of history. Shoutout to all of the volunteers during this amazing week and some signs that you can hopefully relate to!
1. You know how much preparation truly goes into this week
Volunteers needed. Decorations in tact. Performance date set aside. Prayers. Everything needs to be planned in the months before.
2. Decorations galore
Found a place giving away cardboard for free? Or the whole church donating a ton of milk jugs? Let's make an igloo that can hold 10 kids. It'll be great.
3. You have literally ALL of the songs memorized by the second day
You find yourself singing them in the middle of Walmart.
4. For some reason, all of the little kids don't annoy you THAT much
Then again, it's only a week.
5. Potty breaks are scheduled down to the minute
"Okay, who needs to go to the bathroom while were over here?"
6. FREE SNACKS
Yasssssssss. Shoutout to all of the ladies who go above and beyond with the snacks each year. (and yes that is a submarine)
7. You already know which days games are going to get messy
Water. Water. Water.
8. You know just where that "one kid" is hiding
"Have you seen [insert name here]?" "Oh yea they just ran down that way.."
9. "Hey you..."
60 names is hard to remember and everyone gets called "Hey you"
10. You spread the Gospel each day
The Word of God is the most important part of Vacation Bible School.
11. You have the songs and actions embedded in your head for years to come
Trust me on this...I can sing all of the books of the Bible and do all of the actions to Amazing Grace.
