Awana Forums

Hi all!! I have a sentence that I would love for everyone to complete for me please; "You know you have Awana Fever when......." To get the ball rolling I will tell you one of my personal "Awana Fever" problems. I find I eat the colored M&M's in the order of ... Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. Any colors other then those are eaten as a last resort.

Why don't traffic lights have a blue lens, too? Christ for Kids...........TCON

When you wake up out of a sound sleep with Awana verses going thru your head. Jodi

When to get your husband's attention you give him the 5 count. "1....2......3......4......5!" Kathy

I like this. Jodi

When you randomly start singing the Cubbies song because it's catchy and upbeat... When you walk into a fabric store and immediately start looking over fabric in the order of Red, Blue, Green and Yellow, comptemplating what could be made for AWANA this year using those fabrics... [Worse - when you walk out of said fabric store with 2 yards each of red, blue, green and yellow felt, thinking, "Wow this will make a great AWANA bulletin board!"]

When you wear your antique AWANA belt buckle everywhere........ Christ for Kids...........TCON

......when your children's piggy banks contain more Awana Bucks than dollar bills--and everyone is happy with that!

When all the kids refer to you as the AWANA lady rather than your name, and you answer to it!!! Kathy

When you wear your Sparky earrings to places OTHER than Awana!

When you're up to your eyebrows in Awana paperwork, and LOVING every minute of it.

My husband wanted to put in his two cents worth... so this is his "Awana Fever" statement..... "When your wife wants to paint the outside of your house and desires one side red, one side blue, one green and one yellow!"

When people ask you what you're going to do after graduation and you answer, "Awana!"

At my church, I am referred to as the AWANA Momma (given to me by our Pastor) and the other day I was walking through our local grocery store parking lot and heard, "HEY, AWANA MOMMA!!". I immediately turned my head and saw my Pastor and Associate Pastor yelling through their hands at me across the parking lot!!!

....When you can't wait for Summer to be over with so that Awana can begin again. And, you keep reminding the kids that Awana will be starting, so they need to find their books. Or, you're enlisting help to finish your Gold and Silver activities and you're not a clubber.
