Ooo..sorry to not write for so long. The biggest things we've got going on now is that tomorrow, we'll start doing some games with all the kids from Estrellitas and up on the front property, so please pray that all starts off well. I'm really hoping it'll be a great way to give the kids something to do in the mornings while they're still on vacation. We'll see how it goes, but the plan is to do some sort of larger-scale camp/youth group type games every Monday, Wed, Fri through the rest of vacations.
Today I made invitations for the girls and tried to start off the first of the 3 small groups I divided them up into for a "Discovery Study" Bible study. The main idea with this study is to get the girls to really think about the Word they're reading, process and apply it to their lives, without really trying to answer their questions/doubts, but instead to just let the Word speak for itself. We had a little hang up today, and I learned that when you present it as an invitation, that maybe only 1 out the 6 from that group will actually show up. So we put out the word that it's mandatory and we'll try again with the Tuesday group next week. Meanwhile, we'll go ahead with the Wednesday and Friday groups this week, so please pray that it would all go off well and that the study would serve its purpose in that it would drive the girls closer to the Word of God for their answers and force them to acknowledge who He is, who they are, and that they would, by grace, put their faith in the only one way to a relationship with God, Jesus Christ His Son, who paid our debt and in exchange, gave us His righteousness, this pure and free gift of the one true God. Amen.
On a lighter note, the girls have 7 little ones from Los Angelitos here tonight, keeping them very busy. One just came running into my room asking me for a cepillo (toothbrush,) although the ones I have are really supposed to just be for the girls, not their many small guests. I'm not always a sucker, as I've seen the other side of the cuteness coin, but how could I resist little William when he came flying in through my doorway, wiggling his arms around like little lost wings in his oversized shirt and little red beanie (barefoot and with no pants on, of course,) dressed like that? You know you would've given it to him too. ☺
Be blessed,
Ginny
