So in my last post I mentioned how I teach Sunday school at church. I enjoy it very much. Now that's not to say that I don't have moments and times when I say, "God, are you sure you got this right, are you sure this is where you want me?" Not because I don't enjoy it, but because often times I feel unqualified and I worry if the kids are interested or getting anything out of my lessons.
Just this morning while getting ready I was doubting it all. Just felt so unsure. See when I do things, I want there to be an end result, I want to make a difference in lives, touch them in some way, even if it's only one. And today I just wasn't feeling that I was doing that at all.
I get there, we get our lesson going, we start the craft. As we are finishing it up one of the kids tells me that he is glad I am there and that he feels I was put there, that he is getting so much out of my lessons and that what I am saying and teaching them is as he put it "touching my heart" Y'all I felt so incredibly calm and relieved. I was so proud and happy. Proud of me for saying yes, proud of me for trusting, proud of him for having the courage and consideration to give a compliment and convey his true feelings.
It made my heart smile when I heard him say this. I know it really came from his heart.
