11 Signs You're a VBS Volunteer

Vacation Bible School is the best and most exhausting weeks out of the whole summer. However, with all of the chaotic-ness amongst the children, they are learning about the most important book in all of history. Shoutout to all of the volunteers during this amazing week and some signs that you can hopefully relate to!

1. You know how much preparation truly goes into this week

Volunteers needed. Decorations in tact. Performance date set aside. Prayers. Everything needs to be planned in the months before.

2. Decorations galore

Found a place giving away cardboard for free? Or the whole church donating a ton of milk jugs? Let's make an igloo that can hold 10 kids. It'll be great.

3. You have literally ALL of the songs memorized by the second day

You find yourself singing them in the middle of Walmart.

4. For some reason, all of the little kids don't annoy you THAT much

Then again, it's only a week.

5. Potty breaks are scheduled down to the minute

"Okay, who needs to go to the bathroom while were over here?"

6. FREE SNACKS

Yasssssssss. Shoutout to all of the ladies who go above and beyond with the snacks each year. (and yes that is a submarine)

7. You already know which days games are going to get messy

Water. Water. Water.

8. You know just where that "one kid" is hiding

"Have you seen [insert name here]?" "Oh yea they just ran down that way.."

9. "Hey you..."

60 names is hard to remember and everyone gets called "Hey you"

10. You spread the Gospel each day

The Word of God is the most important part of Vacation Bible School.

11. You have the songs and actions embedded in your head for years to come

Trust me on this...I can sing all of the books of the Bible and do all of the actions to Amazing Grace.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
