Our miraculous God!

Okay, so this week has been VBS at our church and me and DD have been in charge of the snack room. I have been responsible for purchasing all of the snacks for the 150+ kids every night... and that's kind of hard to try to figure out. Anyway, on Tuesday, our snack was mini chimichangas covered in guacamole with two tooth picks so they look like little caterpillars. Well, I didn't buy enough, because I thought we only had 120 kids. So, the last class got pretzels with guacamole instead.

On my way home that night, God was convicting me hard core! He kept asking me why I didn't pray to ask Him to multiply the food... and you guessed it! He reminded me of the story of the 5000 and the fish. I was reminded that I don't always practice the faith that I teach the kids about.

So, TONIGHT.... we were cutting it really close with the amount of fruit roll-ups we needed for the last class. I bought way more than enough, but trust me in this. Fruit roll-ups are hard to be able to unfold without tearing, so we couldn't use every one like I would have hoped for. Heather came to me and said, "We don't have enough for the last class. Should I cut them in half to make more?" She showed me a stack that wasn't even an inch thick and we needed 25 more! I told her no that we just needed to pray and ask God to multiply them and have there be enough. I prayed out loud right there and asked Him to make it happen. Well, guess what! She kept peeling them apart and I went back into the Maraca Munchies room and I saw 5 more that were not eaten yet by the kids. After I brought them and she finished peeling them apart... we set up the classroom. The kids came in, we moved all the snacks around, and you guessed it.... There was just enough! There was none to spare and no kids went without. Our God is an awesome God and He still does miracles!

VBS snacks .... cookies and punch.. brings back memories.

I think this is great work. Everytime I see Christians doing the "little things" for the "least of these," it reminds me what the Church is all about.
