The Unbalanced Chronicles: Drama Queen

This has been me all day.

I am so lazy/tired/lazy/tired/triple lazy.

We had a busy week of bible school last week.

Vacation Bible School Drama Queen Prep-

I tried to make a scepter at the last minute- I unraveled all the birthday paper and slapped my princess hair comb on the top.

Connor gave it two thumbs down, but I plan to carry it into this WEEK- look for me walking on Main Street with it.

Walking through the Valley of Death

(I know this is bible scripture but a tiny part of me wanted to sing this song- (I know all the words, yes I do)

"Gangsta's Paradise"

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long,
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone.

Do you remember it was a major song in this movie based on a real teacher named Louanne Johnson?

I would like to think in the situation, I would be a kick butt teacher like Michelle Pfeiffer in the dangerous, gang invested inner city. I would teach at all costs. The truth is I would probably get shot the first day for wearing a pretty scarf the colors of an enemy gang- all by accident.

Don't be distracted by Coolio's awesome braids (like me), the REAL Valley of Death comes from the 23rd Psalm-

First Night's Drama-

Meeting King David

"I love you, Lord;
you are my strength."
(Psalm 18:1)

Ps. Thank you Ms. Sally for helping me with the drama room. Nothing says LoVe to me like a woman who gathers push pins, bed sheets, and balances themselves on a rocky table with children running around. :)

The King awaits....

Queen Esther

This was a really fun night because it was the only night that included a second person.

"So encourage
each other and build each
other up." (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

The play was funny because there is one part where we all "encourage" Esther to see the king even though she may be killed. We don't actually help her or join her, we stay put in the room. The kids were all like "see ya, good luck, hope you don't die, we will wait here...."

Hear Ye, Hear Ye

You May Enter God's Kingdom Now

I am wearing my homemade princess hat made out of a birthday hat and streamers.

No one really understood my hat, but I think it went a lot better than say...

this princess hat.

Here we are making over our beautiful candidates for queen.

As you know Esther is one of my favorite bible stories!

see here.

I am explaining to the kids how this story is much like The Bachelor (no I'm kidding), I am explaining how all the young women endured beauty treatments for a full year before even meeting the king.

One beautiful princess.

Praise and Worship

We meet Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the Jerusalem wall.

"Don’t worry about
anything; instead, pray about
everything." (Philippians 4:6)

(God has been really hounding me with this point in the past year, I really need it.)

Rebuilding of the Wall

Crew 1-

They are all so sweet.

(some children are visitors and I don't feel I can show faces without their parents knowing)

Rebuilding of the Wall

Crew 2-

They Rocked It!

A better picture of the wall with these three sweeties.

(I will be so glad when Connor is over the long soccer sock phase, he doesn't even play soccer.)

Rebuilding of the Wall

Crew 3-

Way to Go!!! You all made me smile.

Crew 4-

This crew was so awesome because the crew leaders really worked at pretend "taunting and teasing" like in the real bible story. It didn't stop them, they rebuilt that wall in seconds without a word spoken to the critics.
