VBS Day One

by Hannah Pinkston | February 6, 2023 6:03 PM

There is nothing quite like an empty box titled, 'Entry Title' to really rattle my psyche; I often *feel* I should write  about my experiences in a way that overtly honors them. But ultimately, I want to write in a way that is human and true. So, once I made it past this entries title, I sat at the next blank box. Though today's VBS was a few, short hours with simple activities, it felt incredibly full and nourishing and too short. I love that God can show us what humility is, and how beautiful it actually is. The language barrier between myself and the kiddos today just kind of melted away; we all know how to laugh, how to talk with our facial expressions, how to hug. The children were more than eager to teach me the Spanish they knew, and I felt truly humbled to receive it as a student. Often their parent's got to witness these interactions and I *pray* that they felt blessed to see their kid's loving, being loved, and simply being the little humans God has made them to be already. Today felt like a reminder to seek and see the brilliance in the smallest, simplest, and most organic parts of life because there is so much to take from it.
