Overview

That is a VERY BUSY DAY! I hope you're resting well!! I'm sure it will take time to process all of the new information, but I'm glad you were able to finally hear the along awaited answers and plans to help your combat your daily struggles instead of silently pushing through. 🫶

I'm at Mayo for doctor appointments and it was a lot... good, but a lot... I saw weight-loss clinic, nutrition and orthopedics. I'll be back for weight-loss and nutrition before the end of the year. We are hoping the process of med changes goes well over the next 5 months continues to go well and we'll see where I'm at then make more decisions. Orthopedics said we will see how pain rehabilitation center goes later this month. Surgery is an option for my feet to fix the arthritis and structural issues, but only as a last resort, because it could create more pain. The best part is my exercise plan is bike riding and swimming fir the rest of forever. I need to try to limit time on my feet Next week I'm back for 23 days for pain rehab... it will be intense, but I am sooo hopeful! This is the answer! I need this to help me learn to refrain my pain and restructure my day to increase my pacing skills so I can be the best version of me I can be! Poppy 💕

I'm so sorry you've been struggling with pain while maintaining so many responsibilities! I am so thankful that you're now finally receiving the care and help you have always deserved!! You seem to have everything in hand in regards to how to ease everyone through this new phase in your life while you construct an environment and schedule that will work best with your body- so let my offer you my applause at your strength and a warm hug to soothe the loneliness that I know can come with chronic pain. Nerve pain is not an easy battle (especially thanks to the fact that it's not visible to others and often difficult for to comprehend if you've never experienced it). You're doing an amazing job 🙂 I hope your pain levels are low and that there's a happy interest to focus on and enjoy for the day!

@Juju I just wanna say you are an inspiration to me! I love all the work you are doing to support the littles here on the forum!

Hi everyone! I've really been thinking, planning and wondering about different aspects for VBS. Some of which is the activities for our theme; "Adventures Through the Bible ". Here are the ones I've come up with: A. Moses and the Ten Commandments. B. Noah and the Ark C. David and Goliath D. Daniel and the Lions Den E. Joshua and the Wall of Jericho F. Jacob, Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors G. Jonah and the Whale H. Sampson and Delilah If you could vote on which 5 you are most interested in, that would help alot! Thank you!!

I don't think it'll be a problem. 🤔

An hour earlier would work, if it works for everyone else.

Would it help to go a hour earlier or an hour later? If not, no worries!

Juju.... I'm leading VBS at my church July 27th - 30th. I'm not sure on the time yet, but usually its 6:00 we start and I'm leading the preschoolers... I'm gonna join you, but may need to leave a little early...

Hi everyone! It's the end of April already and soon will be May! Time sure sneaks up on you sometimes! I'm starting the actual planning for VBS in a few days. Even though I'm not completely participating as a little, I'm still really excited about it! It'll be in July on the 25th thru the 29th, from 4-5pm. Adventures thru the Bible is our theme. We'll have crafts, short lessons and games! Soooooo, Mark it in your calendars and come join in on the fun! Juju

Hi y'all! Just thought I would check in and see how you're doing. I know we have a couple of people out there planning to join us for VBS, I'm hoping we can get some more to join in on the fun I'm planning! We'll be learning all kinds of nifty stuff and fun activities your little/ middle sides can enjoy! So, invite your friends and let's all just have a great time! But also, if there is only a few of us, that's okay too! Because where two or three are gathered, in His name, He will be there also. God Bless you all! I'm really looking forward to our time together! Your big sissy in Christ, Juju ⛪️❤️

YAY!!!!!!!!!! Central timezone? Yes, I'm in central. If you're in the east half, you're 1 hour ahead. If there's anyone on the west coast, you're 2 hours behind. Australia is about 15 hours ahead Europe is about 9 hours ahead. Just giving a generalization in case we have anyone else join us from these time zones.

YAY!!!!!!!!!! Central timezone?

Hi everyone! Our VBS this year will be the following: DATES: July 27th-July31st. TIME: 4:00pm - 5:00pm THEME: Adventures Through the Bible I hope to see y'all there!!

I'll be posting all VBS stuff here, so this will be the place to come for discussion, questions etc... Also, shadow made me and a few others leaders in here because it's been awhile since the owner commented and stuff. LEADERS ARE: * shadowrider * BabyPoppy * MissAnna * MsNmTx * Aikko * Juju If you prefer not to be or have any questions. Just let shadow know. Thank you everyone!

VBS Friends come join us!

Since it looks like, so far anyway, that our VBS is going to be in July, I'm going to leave this poll up for another month or so. It looks like so far, however, that we'll be doing the Adventures through the Bible or Noah's Ark unless others come in and change that. The reason I'm having this voting now, is because i need to have time to plan, even if it is almost 3-4 months away, I need to give myself time that I don't feel panicky or pressure. It's just the way my brain works. lol So if you know of anyone that would maybe be interested in joining, please let them know to come vote! Thank you!

I also like Noah's Ark or Under the Sea!

I feel like medieval kingdom is underrated. It would definitely be my number 2!

Yes, you can choose more then one. 2-3 at the most

@Juju Maybe we need to list our second choices too???

This looks like so much fun!

@BabyPoppy Thank you so muches! *hugs you back tight, breathing has become difficult* 🤭 I know! Huh?! I'm the one who listed them and I'm having a hard time choosing too! 😆
