Dear Awana Kids
Here’s another piece I wrote back in January when I took my flash fiction and nonfiction class. It’s a letter to my Awana kids explaining my disability and answering some questions they might have. Enjoy!

I had so much fun writing the poem about Saul I decided to write another one about Noah and the flood. I wanted to tell people what the rainbow means to me. A special thanks to my good friend, Sarah March. She was my extra pair of eyes as I wrote the poem. Your input was very valuable. Also, a special thanks to my brother-in-law, Cody Jensen. He gave me great direction in searching through the scriptures. I really enjoyed our conversation last week. Writing this definitely caused me to dig into God’s word more! The last couple weeks have been quite a journey! If you want to read the story of Noah in the Bible, it starts in Genesis chapter six, and ends with chapter nine, where the Lord talks about the rainbow, which is the emphasis in this poem. If you haven’t read the Bible, Genesis is the very first book. All scripture quotations are taken from the NIV. (New international Version). Genesis 9:12-15. Enjoy!
Last week I got teach the lesson at my table in fourth grade at Summer Adventure A.K.A. Vacation Bible School at Grace Baptist Church. The theme for the entire week was Jesus is Lord. Friday was Jesus is Lord over His people We told the kids the story of Saul. I wrote this poem and they loved It! I held their attention! I gave all my kids signed copies of the poem to help them remember the story and the fun week we had together! Another table leader shared it with her kids and soon everyone wanted a copy! It was a hit! Maybe I’ll have to start writing more poetry. Enjoy!
Saul was a bully
Who tried to kill the holy
Slowly God worked on his heart
And Saul had a brand new start
After being blinded by the light
Ananias restored his sight
And Saul was filled with the Holy Spirit
And God used him with all his might
Even with a dark heart like Saul
God changed him and his name became Paul
“Focus On What You Can Do”
