Froelich's Frolics

The Lord is reminding me of the importance of taking time to be holy. It seems like life is sooo busy, and we so easily forget (neglect) the things which are most important. I am guilty of this more than I would care to admit. Lord, forgive me, and help me walk closer to You.

We had the Grace Trio from God's Bible School at our church on Sunday night. The group did an outstanding job. One of the songs they sang was this one. I love it.

Week of February 26 to March 3 Diaper motorcycle I made for a cousin Baby shower

The large yellow egg and small eggs I drew freehand. I am so not an artist. The jelly beans I made using a bean clip art I found on Word. The background is from the education store. Speaking of Junior Church, here is a question for all you Children's Workers... How do you handle bathroom runs? Meaning, in our class, when one child asks to go to the bathroom, EVERYBODY else has to go to the bathroom too. I can't send them all at once, so I send them one at a time, but it is becoming a HUGE distraction. I try to get all bathroom time out of the way early, but that seems to be not working for keeping a sensible feeling of calm in the room. The kids go to Junior Church from their Sunday School classes with a five minute break between the classes which doesn't give a lot of time to make sure everyone goes to the b...

This song is by a group called Selah. God doesn't promise to keep us FROM the storms, but He does promise to keep us THROUGH the storms. He will hold us through it all.

Week of February 19 to February 25, 2012 This was a rough week for me, so I did not take any photos. I had a headache every.single.day this week, plus there were some other things going on. Pretty stressful. I kept telling myself to "Choose joy, Vanessa. Choose joy." I had to remind myself I have a lot of reasons to be thankful, even in the rough times.
