Toddlers Worship

Sarah led worship for the toddlers on Sunday. It was pretty cute. We both felt good about being to serve in a more real way. I was the official photographer. We are going to do toddler worship every third Sunday. Next Sunday, our Vineyard group will be coming to our "house" for our gathering. It's going to be a blasty. Enjoy the pics. (and check my flickr, y'all)!

Micah Ajoshi

That is what Joshua calls me. He is the son of our new Podowon leaders. (Vineyard, like homegroup). Ajoshi is a term reserved for married men your senior. When he sees us he comes running, saying, "Micah ajoshi, Micah ajoshi!" Then we get hugs. It's a great feeling. He has really begun to open up to us. We had a picnic a couple of weeks ago and I took my camera. These pictures are some of the results. At one point, Joshua and I played a game in which he removed his hat and threw it on the ground. My job was to act appalled and pick the hat up and put it back on his head. He laughed every time. We played that game for quite a while. Sarah captured a video of it whilst I was unbeknownst.

From the Classroom

This one is of Jesung. I accidentally wrote the wrong reference on the weekly planner, so all the kids came in saying Hebrews 13:7 instead of 13:8; unfortunately, I didn't realize the error until after they'd all said it that morning! Still cute to hear them say their verses though:) I am having my students memorize ABC Scriptures - verses to go along with all the letters of the alphabet. This morning, some of them were saying our current verse for J - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8. Others are playing catch up and saying verses for other letters of the alphabet. I just had to break out my camera because it was just too darn cute to resist! Enjoy!

Jesung. In case you didn't catch what he said at the end, he said, "Ha-bu-roos." (Hebrews) It's always so interesting to hear how kids will say things before they've heard it said out loud. Since they were saying this 1st thing Monday morning, and before our QT, they were just saying this purely on what they could decode phonetically. I usually repeat it back correctly on the spot, but this one slipped by - plus it was too cute! He'll figure it out:)

Reyna's verse was "God is Love." 1 John 4:8 I think she looks like a Korean version of Kelsea. Such a cutie pie!

This is Junhyun. He cracks me up! He sort of reminds me of what Keira might have been like if she was a Korean boy:) Always doing the quirkiest funniest things as a kid!

This is of Seoyoung. The poor girl had to stand in line for about 5 minutes listening to all the other kids say their verses, so by the time she got to me, she said a combination of all the verses! She was trying to say "Come close to God, and God will come close to you." James 4:8. I still gave her credit;) She works so hard, and I am incredibly proud of her. She is such a sweetie pie! She's always so eager to say her verses to me - I just love it when she runs up to me wanting to tell me something! It's the cutest and most sincere thing I've ever heard!
