Sunday.

Whew....what a few days. After a couple wonderful days with Kennedy shopping in Lansing, we are all outfitted and our pencil boxes are full to the brim with wonderful school supplies, just waiting for September 4 to arrive....more photos about this later.

The kids are camping with grandpa and grandma this weekend, so I have have been.....painting. I have had the paint to do my laundry room for over a year now, so this was finally the weekend. I really love the color-----Drizzle------kind of a blue-green-lt. teal, and am hoping that the freshness in the room will help me like to do laundry more....OK, not likely, but it looks much better. I also took the closet door off, painted the inside of the closet a coordinating green, and am going to make some colorful funky curtains to hang on the window and over the door. I am putting the word "FRESH" and the phrase "Loads of Fun" on the wall, so it should be pretty fun and fresh when I'm finished......we have missed the kids and look forward to seeing them later today.

Today, I am teaching the kids about what Jesus meant when He said He is LIVING WATER.....what a powerful truth. Water quenches us for a time but we quickly thirst again. Likewise, the worlds says that it has so many things that will satisfy the thirst of our souls. BUT, Jesus offers to us water that will quench our deepest thirst for good, and that it will become in us "a spring of water welling up to eternal life." What a cool word picture that is. Not only does it quench our souls permanently but it wells up." I'm praying that God will work in the minds of these kids--and of me--to really GET what He means here. Enjoy this amazing but rainy Sunday.....worship, rest, and praise God that He is all the water we need.
