I am an Oklahoman by birth, a Texan by current living situation, but claim the world as my playground.I love to travel and hope to someday soon take our family on adventures to far off lands, where we can share God with others and experience all the wonders He has created.
I am a mother of 5 crazy, homeschooling children ages 10 & under, wife to an amazing man, and daughter of the King of the Universe!I enjoy reading, making my kids laugh, cooking, all things natural, learning to play guitar and dusting off my piano skills.One day I hope to run again, but until then I’m learning patience.
We are partnering up with Minivan Ministries all week to bring you a Virtual Vacation Bible School (VBS), so check down below for today Water Wonders VBS – Jonah, a Fish and a Worm!
The Jonah Story
The story of Jonah! If you grew up in the church or even with Veggie Tales, you’ve heard the story of Jonah. How could we not be intrigue by a man running away from God and then God gifting him a second chance at life by allowing him to be swallowed by a big fish, is fascinating to children and adults alike!
How My Heart Reflects on Jonah
Isn’t it amazing how God gives second chances. He not only gave Jonah a second chance to do the right thing but he also gave Nineveh a second chance to do the right thing.
How many second chances has God given you?
God has blessed me with many, because I am a severely flawed person, but His love for me never waivers. It is this love for all of us that makes God send someone like Jonah to rescue our hearts. In our case, God sent Jesus to save us, but God might have used someone else during our life to point us to Jesus.
Who is the person that helped lead you to Christ or was it a bunch of different someones?
Prayer
Lord, we are humbled by how much you love us, by how you are constantly trying to bring our hearts back to you. Thank you for loving us so much! Help us to put you first in our lives and love others as you have loved us. In the One who lived out the sign of Jonah and came back to life too – Amen!
So are you ready for more Virtual VBS fun?
Are you ready to prep your little one’s heart to plan God’s seed?
You can be the one to plant the love of Christ in your child’s heart. Teach them all about second chances, God’s great forgiveness and the love He has for us all!

Have you ever had a present you just couldn’t wait to open because you knew it was going to be amazing? Then with every sighting of that present, you get a little more excited until you are about to explode with excitement upon opening it! This is how I felt sitting with my family in the Sight & Sound Theatres in Branson, MO in the Spring of 2014 waiting for the show to begin.
We had heard amazing things about the productions that came to the Sight & Sound Theatres. Everyone one said if there is just one show you see, make sure it’s at that theater. So when we made our plans, we made sure to purchase tickets to see Jonah.
We arrived at this beautiful theater ahead of the curtain call to take “The Behind the Scenes” tour, which only increased our excitement levels even more. We saw the animals that are an integral part of each production and learned a little of how they train them to be used in the production. We were able to see the massive sets that were used in the production of Joseph. We even got to try on some clothes from the wardrobe. It was such a great learning experience to better understand how these wonderful productions come together.
Our families’ first experience at the Sight & Sound Theatre in Branson.
Then we experienced the story of Jonah come alive not only on the stage but throughout the entire auditorium! My kids ages 6, 4, & 2 sat through the entire performance in awe of everything happening around them. They still talk about this production and ask when we will get to go back. This is truly an experience everyone in your family will enjoy!
McKenzie experienced a show at Sight & Sound a few weeks ago. Before she had never heard of Sight & Sound, so she didn’t know what to expect, but now having experienced it this is what she had to say:
My husband and I got to see the Jonah show at Sight & Sound Theatres recently and we were both in awe the entire time. We weren’t familiar with any show in Branson, much less one with a spiritual plot line, but when Kristi recommended that we see it, we were excited to experience something new!
Once we got to Branson, and drove around, we understood that the Sight & Sound Theatre is not like all the other theaters there. It’s HUGE. This size enables them to make such a beautiful impact with their show. The sets come and go off the stage with fluidity. The REAL animals on stage, I mean come on! It was so amazing. The text to stage interpretation of the story was beautifully done and we left the show beyond impressed.
I have seen many stage productions in many cities, in many venues and this honestly was like nothing I had seen before. As we ate dinner, we talked about our favorite parts. We discussed even the familiar story in a new way, seeing it played out the way they did. Sight & Sound Theaters has left a lasting impression! I can’t wait for the opportunity to go again!
2016 brings new productions to the Branson & Lancaster County Sight & Sound Theatres!
From March – December 2016 – Moses will be captivating audiences in Branson, MO.
Their creative abilities are astounding. I get excited imagining how they will express the plagues, the parting of the sea, and even Moses’ time away from Egypt! Anticipation is growing again!
From March – December 2016 – Samson will be debuting in Lancaster County, PA.
This story has always been one of my favorites and so this has trickled down to our kids. Our kids are constantly asking to watch the Samson teaser and the Samson Announcement Event videos. Needless to say, we are excited to see this production too!
So in a couple of words, the best way I can describe Sight & Sound Theatres’ productions, without you seeing it, is Epic!
Epic Bible Story + Epic Storytelling Production = Sight & Sound Theatres!
