Teaching in His Name

I am working on a true relationship with the Lord, and feel that teaching is a way that I can share His love with others.

Clarity and Patience

I feel like I am learning so much right now, especially about my relationship with the Lord and where He wants me to be. Lately, I have felt so unbelievably blessed at work and feel more than ever that my spritual gift is teaching. I can't see myself really ministering in any other way right now. God reveals himself daily through the children I work with, and it is so amazing to me.

Now, when it comes to other areas of my life...like finding my future husband...well...that is not so clear to me. I know God is working in every aspect of my life, but patience is one thing I struggle with daily. I am working on having patience as far as who that man is God has planned for me to meet, and patience with myself and who God is shaping me to become. This means that I am not in control...and that is so hard for me.

It is so exciting to think about the future and what lies ahead. Will I have my own children someday? That is something I have actually dreamed about on a couple of occasions. Perhaps I am going to adopt a child from another country. Perhaps I will have my own children someday. I have also wanted to sing on the worship team at church. Is that something God is calling me to do? I am so worried about not being good enough...people not liking my singing voice.

Lord,
Continue to do your work in me. Thank you so much for your many blessings as I teach my kindergartners. Thank you for your presence each and everyday in the classroom, and thank you for revealing yourself through these beautiful children. Guide each one of my students and allow me to be a light to them, that they may come to know your unconditional Love. Lord, even though there are many things I am still unsure about, I know that You will always be there to protect me and lead me with each step I take. You are such an awesome God. In Jesus Name, Amen.
