Today was Kaylee’s day.
Kaylee, our Summer Intern, took the lead with both our Tuesday morning
group of Little Girls (ages 6-10) and our Tuesday afternoon Teens (ages 15-19).
We’re continuing to read through a Children’s Bible with our
Little Girls, and so Kaylee read (in Spanish!) the story of the Israelites
complaining to Moses for food and water.
She also came up with the most adorable craft… making bastóns (staffs)
like Moses had!

After reading the story, we sent the girls outside to find
sticks out back, which they did enthusiastically. Then, we got down to decorating. And, that meant Glitter!! Yes, we know Moses didn’t have a staff with
stickers, glitter and beads, but, they sure did turn out cute. It was a lot of fun, and worth all the
glitter we’ll be wearing for the next week or so!
In the afternoon Kaylee shared a part of her powerful testimony. She is just a few years older than our Teens,
and struggled with some of what they are facing, and so is able to speak into
their lives in ways Daisy and Kimberley cannot.
It was wonderful to see the teens really focused on what she was saying,
and asking good questions afterwards.
Kaylee shared that she used to live for herself, but when
God called her, He asked for all of her.
She said she tries to live each day, not her life, but His life in
her. Wanda asked what she felt now that
she was living like this.
“I feel free. People think that freedom means being in
control of your life, but they are wrong.
Freedom means allowing God to be in control.”
What a powerful reminder for each one of
us! True freedom does not come from
grasping for control, but in opening our hands and allowing God to work out His
plan, in us and through us.
We praise God for the way He has been at work in Kaylee’s
life, bringing her to this place at this time.
We’re excited to see how He continues to use her life to bring Him glory
in El Callejon… and beyond!
