Savor the Moment: Title Tuesday

For the last two weeks I worked at a Vacation Bible School.  I found out a few days before we started that I would have some of the youngest kids (Kindergarten and First Graders).  Keeping in mind that I went to school to be a high school teacher, who ended up teaching middle school, I was anxious. 

Anxious about how I would connect with these kids, if they would listen, if they would learn, and if they would have fun.

The second week I co-directed a musical for the younger kids, while another director covered middle/high schoolers.  We learned an entire musical: the story, speaking parts, songs, staging, choreography, how to be on stage, different parts of acting... in a week.  IN A WEEK!

What!?

Our performance was Sunday.  The kids arrived early so we could run the show, get them in their "costumes," play a game and pray before we took the stage.

It went by so fast.  The kids did such a fantastic job.  The major hiccups happening right before show time resolved themselves and I couldn't have been more proud of the work those kids did.  They were awesome!

On my way home after watching the other show, talking with people who came to see it I had this high.  This adrenaline rush.  I was so happy.  Happy for the students that things went well.  Grateful to have had such amazing staff and co-director to work with for the week.

The feeling that I had on Sunday, and thinking about it now... I just want to hold onto it.  Because I know how quickly emotions can change.  Tides can go out.  And I... well I just want to Savor the Moment.

Remember, many things in life can wait... and The Sunset Won't.

Is there a moment that you really want to savor?  Tell me about it!

Quotes from the book:

Sometimes you look for the trapdoor 

and run into a wall instead.

 

She'd brushed off whatever pinched at her.  

But brushing it off didn't mean 

it wasn't lurking in the corners, 

waiting to pinch again.
