Pondering VBS Week

Hello, friends.

Vacation Bible School is coming up next week, and I feel like I should be doing my normal week-before-VBS panic dance. Weirdly, though... I don't have anything to do right now.

I've printed and stuffed name tags.
I've finalized the daily schedule and printed it.
The rosters are updated with the latest information.
All of the donations have been sorted.
I have a plan for what to do on Monday to set up.
I actually have all of the volunteers I need. Hopefully. I'm pretty sure.
I'm confident that the site leaders are prepared.
Opening and Closing are ready, music is ready, registration is ready, at least two of my site leaders have built big rockets (our VBS is space-themed), all is well.

It's a strange feeling, to feel like I'm ready for VBS. Typically at this time of year, I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off, finding dozens of last-minute details to figure out. This could mean one of two things. Number one, I'm getting better at this as time goes on. Number two, I simply don't have the energy to panic anymore. I think it's actually both of those things.

I'm very tired. If I'm tired now, I can only imagine how I'll be feeling after a week of VBS insanity.

Vacation Bible School is coming up next week, and for the first time, I don't necessarily know what's going to happen this summer after that. Weirdly, though... that's not as terrifying as it would have been last year.
