During my long break, I began researching and preparing for an upcoming project that I plan on taking over the summer. The first part of the project involves decorations for the Vacation Bible School for my church. That means decorating my church according to the theme of VBS, which thankfully, is Pandamania. This involves a lot of butcher paper and a lot of plants. Drawing and painting pandas, a whole lot of them, is easy but plants and the such would cost money. So to save money, I plan on announcing a donation of plants for VBS. Anyone who has unwanted house plants or any plants can bring it to the church and we can make it forest-like. Since VBS starts in the late July- beginning of August, that means I should start decorating the first week of July until the week before VBS, two to three days a week, 4-5 hours each of those days. I'm sure that I won't be taking this task by myself, I'll have peers to help me out.
The second part of my continued DIY project is to finish a second mural for the main children's ministry room. They very hard part of this is finding a specific theme/verse because a mural is going to be there for a long time, until someone paints over it in the future. When I started on my second mural it wasn't as pretty as I had planned, even though it was just a bit. There was a pain shortage, I wasn't feeling well; it was just the wrong day to do it. So as summer is laid out before me, I plan on painting slowly and patiently as well as whole-heartedly on this second mural to make it the best mural ever. This means a lot of planning and a lot of patience this summer. Just as long as I give it my my best shot and stay positive throughout I will work and give it my all because seeing the children happy makes me extremely happy as well.
