Yep you read that title correctly (for the few people that actually visit this page),
Anywho I am now a Sunday School teacher. It's a long story and I'll spare you the minute details, but ever since I was little I have wanted to be a teacher. Now that I am in church I feel God has given me that gift. I haven't actually taught yet so we'll see how well that gift is lol. But I love to teach. I love to show people new things and help them form new ideas. I LOVE it. I don't know why but I do.
Well God had laid in on my heart for about 4-5 months to be a Sunday School teacher. I was in Bus and knew I couldn't do both. I didn't want to stop doing Bus but when God lays a burden upon your heart you follow it. So long story short I did. When commitment service came around (our church signs up for new ministry every year) I signed right up. Of course I prayed about what age group He wanted me to teach and the Lord laid upon my heart 3rd grade. For those of you who know me, I have nothing against 3rd graders but if I could have personally chosen, I may have done a higher grade level. Well, God never ceases to amaze me. After I prayed Pastor let the Bus Ministry director and the Children's Pastor talk about why people should join. Funny enough the Children's Pastor mentioned that there was serious need for more 8-9 year old teachers. Well that's 3rd grade isn't it lol. To add to God's amazingness, last Sunday I was talking with my lead instructor and he stated that he and the Children's Pastor had been praying for someone who would help with the 8-9 year olds. He said they had prayed about 4 months ago. My answer to that was " Hmmm...God laid Sunday school on my heart about 4-5 months ago." Isn't that awesome. So God is taking me new places. I love Sunday School already. I just love interacting with the kids and helping with the lesson a bit. I love just hearing what is being taught. Since I'm new I have not taught a lesson yet. Last week was my 2nd week as a teacher : ) but I believe I will teach a lesson one day and that will truly make me overjoyed! What is it that the bible says, "He will give you joy and joy abundantly" Oh yea God sure is pouring joy into my life. Thank You Jesus!
