wwKids Art & Drama Camp

Just had the best week at Westwinds Church.

My very creative, talented and dedicated team created an awesome Art & Drama Camp experience for the kids. We exceeded our registration goal; 60% of the kids were from Westwinds and 40% of the kids were from the community: and we extended the camp to include preschoolers through 6th grade. Over 200 people came to see the camp's final performance of our 60 kids.

Our kids designed and painted imaginary landscapes and then colored, cut and beaded their own unique camp t-shirts, then had their friends and counselors sign the shirt. Our kids memorized an original song, written by Chad Cecil, called "Love, Joy, Peace & Self-control." Our kids experienced first hand how movies can be used to learn about God. Then they sang and danced.

Our student leaders worked hard and loved on little kids. One day I looked out the window and saw my 11-year old son, along with my 19-year old nephew playing "duck, duck, goose" with a bunch of preschoolers.

Below is a short animoto of the kids. Also on facebook's Westwinds Kids Journey there is a video recording of the performance.

Thanks again to my awesome wwKids leaders and volunteers. Love ya.

Trust & Obey

Trust and obey (listen - the root word for obey is the word listen)

Trust & obey & trust

In quietness and peace . . . "My strength will come when you (Lori)
completely depend on Me, your Father" (Is. 30.15)

I do depend on You;
then I am fearful
then I try to take control.

Perfect LOVE casts out all FEAR

Your love washes over me -
refreshing
cleansing
removing deris and crap.
Leaving my "true self"

The TRUE Lori Ann
You created and designed and nurtured
and loved forth.

Help me continue to become that woman
SO THAT
I can be a blessing to others
and Shadow God; help heal the world; and build Your Church.

amen.
