Kelly's blog: Organized Chaos

Changing out clothes for the season can seem enormously overwhelming when you are talking about wardrobes for 19 different children! From the expressions on tonight’s show, you can guess that it’s also not always loads of fun. Regardless, it is necessary, and it does give us opportunity to talk about attitude, cooperation, patience, initiative, and all of the important qualities that can help completion of a task run smoothly and joyfully. Not to worry, though, there are projects that we do look forward to! Some of them include speaking & singing engagements, church events, holidays with all the decorating and planning, etc. Preparation for these moments can also seem overwhelming, but there’s usually a lot of laughter and fun memories in the process. Tonight’s episode shared one of our favorite events, performing at Tennessee’s Museum of Appalachia’s annual bluegrass music festival.

We try to work together and prepare for public events like this, but we try to make it fun in the process. They say practice makes perfect, but that doesn’t always happen in our case! We try anyway! We usually have a pep talk about our goals and ministry opportunities. Usually anything worthwhile takes much work and sacrifice, but if the results can encourage another, then our efforts have not been in vain. I’m always grateful when the children try to work together, especially when the request means putting others before self. Sometimes it’s tiring and difficult, and we usually feel inadequate in ability and in preparedness, so I’m pleased with their effort.

Thank you so much for your support so far with our new show! We are all so incredibly grateful for the positive comments you have passed along to us.

Love, Kelly
