Vbs

Last night I had a dream about VBS and this is what Christ laid on my heart: we as adults come to Christ with all of our education " knowledge" experience and ideologies. But Christ says to come to him as little children-free from distractions. In my dreams I was teaching vacation bible school, and I was didsapointed at the turn out-not as many children as I had hoped. And so I gathered all the children up into one room and adults into another room. I proceeded to teach the bible story to the adults first. Each question I asked came with deep theoretical responses that were, pardon me, way off the simple point at hand. Every time I tried to redirect hem to the word and the simple truth a cell phonecrangvor some other busy body attraction. The fact of the matter was these adults were too busy to hear the truth because they already believed they knew the truth. Feeling frustrated, I walked out unfinished with the lesson and no one even noticed. I entered the room with the children and it was loud, chaotic. The kids were playing, coloring, enjoying themselves, the activities and each other. I didn't even get to the bible lesson as I so enjoyed observing them. In the end, they ibtained the lesson through participating in the activities without any teaching or instruction and before I knew it they were gettingbpickedbup because it was time to go!!! Each one sad to leave snd happy to return the following day!!!

When I woke up I didn't feel discouraged but overjoyed! I repented, oh how I repented for consuming myself with quantiy over quality! I repented for being guilty of judge mental thoughts in well meaning religiosity. I repented for being guilty of being "too busy" and "too educated" when it comes to Gods word! I was humbled with this dream and pray that I too can return to a childlike faith.
