Out of the shadows seasons become revealed: There will come a point in life when there is nothing left but to love. You would have done all that you can do, said all you can say, tried all that you can try, hurt until hurt doesn't hurt anymore, cry until you realize a pity party doesn't solve your issues and stop trying so many times in which love is the only thing that you have left to do. You get to a point in your life where you realize that the word no doesn't have to be negative but empowering.You never know the purposes and plans the Lord has for your life, and why events in your life play out the way that they do. Your shadow is your own, it's unique. You are the only one that can control your shadow and dreams. Your shadows will remind you of your of imperfections and inform you that it's okay to mess up sometimes, it's okay to breakdown, crash and burn sometimes. You may have to bite your tongue so much that you can feel the blood running to your chin, metmorphically; the key is to never give up, As the clouds of life sometime hang low and the shadow is no longer revealed, it doesn't eliminate the good that God has put inside of every man, woman, boy and girl, this goodness still abides within. As you continue to walk your life out, He makes known to you His plan and will for your life, all in due season, His timing and His plan.

Well-designed VBS programs speak to children with respect, love, and patience, offering opportunity for authentic spiritual growth, not to mention an intentional theology that is reflective of the church. Finally, custom-designed VBS programs are a way to fully include children in the mission and ministry of the church rather than confine their unique gifts.This book provides Christian educators with the tools they need to assess the needs and resources in their congregation, and to craft a creative program in response to that assessment. The Best VBS Workbook Ever offers direction and suggestions on theme, structure, logistics, program, activities, staffing and promotion.
