The Wheel of Color turning to the Wheel of Mythicality.

So today for the SHEF team we teamed up with Cross Cultural to run a carnival to get the kids ready for the VBS we will be having this week.  Now we got to see quite a few kids come and play carnival games, eat hot dogs and snow cones, and get awesome spray paint pictures.  There was a lot of work done and great fun time to start to get to know kids and invite them to VBS.

God really brought back some great things to mind while I was leading a certain carnival game.  This carnival game is a bike wheel that has pieces of colored paper taped to the wheel and you spin it and hope it lands on the color you picked.  We called it Wheel of Color...original right :)  Anyways to where God taught...

SO as I was leading it I realized not many kids were getting involved with this game...so I had to spice it up and get people interested into trying it out.  This was done by yelling, "come spin the Wheel of Mythicality and win some candy!  Come you will win a prize every time."  Then as spinning the wheel to sing a song and get the kids excited by feeding on their anticipation.

Here is where God Jesus Juked me with some wisdom...  Today we read in Acts 10 and dealt with God preparing us and the kids for the Gospel.  Well we have our plans for VBS and we have prepared so long, but God wants to do so much.  He wants to take our "Wheel of Color" and make it the "Wheel of Mythicality!"

When we let God take control and let the Holy Spirit move then we will see an amazing thing work. That is what Peter learned in His vision in Acts 10.  Please pray that God will lead and we fully trust and give control to Him and not our brains.
