We were riding home from church in the car tonight when we heard something profound from the back seat. VBS starts in 3 weeks and today we got our free CD of the VBS music. So, home from church this morning, back to evening church, and then home again, we listened to the music. During a song called "With You Wherever You Go", based on Joshua 1:9 - "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." the lyrics say "God will be with you wherever you go". Katherine apparently remembered our trip to the Butterfly House on Saturday and the fact that when we went into the butterfly house (a large dome with tropical plants and butterflies flying EVERYWHERE) Elizabeth FREAKED OUT hysterically screaming - John couldn't get her out of the place fast enough. Anyway, from the back seat tonight we heard Katherine say "Elizabeth, God will be with you wherever you go - even at the Butterfly House. So you don't need to be afraid of the butterflies, because He is with you." Even us grownups need to remember that sometimes, don't we. Thanks for the reminder, Katherine.

LOL!! I can SO identify. Do you remember the time we went to the Butterfly House in another summer field trip ( I think 2 years ago) and Ian started screaming at the top of his lungs? I'm sorry. I so know it wasn't funny at the time, but looking back on it, I hope you get a laugh!
