Trusting the Lord

Yesterday I was in charge of Middle School chapel. I decided to do the chapel of trusting the Lord. The Chapel included exploring what trust meant, giving examples, and doing a few activities to experience trust. The most serious and meaningful part was going to be me talking about trusting the Lord and my experience with that. This included reading parts of my journal from over the years and seeing the faithfulness of God and just telling my story of faith. Well I was dong really well, the kids were listening and engaged, and then ( not surprisingly) I began to get a little emotional, and I started crying a little. Of course the kids were really awkward about it and didn't know what to do. But I explained that there were tears of Joy, and that they were a witness to what God means in my life and what I want Him to mean in all of their lives! As much as I didn't want to get that emotional I think it really hit home for some of the kids and they saw me as a real human, not just there crazy teacher! Other teachers told me I did a great job and that it was really meaningful, so the Lord blessed the chapel just as I had asked him to, just not the way I was expecting:)
Last night I also had my Bible Study with a few other teachers from school. I am really thrilled to be able to do this. We have a great time of sharing, venting, questioning and supporting each other. It is something I really need and appreciate.
Tuesday was picture day of school. I added some pictures to our IAS album from picture day if you want to see all the kids spiffed out.
That's all for now. Peace
