I have no patience. I am so short tempered, even with my own kids, that I started to wonder if I was really cut out to be a mom. I thought I was the worst mom in the world, but, after praying hard for God to guide me in a direction of service, an opportunity presented itself. We needed Sunday School teachers. I prayed, God answered, I volunteered. Then, the question was, where would I teach? I'd been in Kacie's four-year-old class a lot and I'd helped in the two-year-olds, but I just wasn't sure where to go. Neither was Ms Betty, so we both prayed about it. Then I was approached about helping Donna with a three-year-old class next year. All the kids I'd helped with in the two's this year would be in my class next year. All of a sudden--God began to show me His workings. I thought, "Perfect. This works." Then Bible School this week.
I have been a big ole' stress ball. Things at work have been very hectic, I felt so unprepared for VBS, I was just stressing big time!! Then, what I thought would be a total NIGHTMARE--seven boys 3 years old--has been a true blessing. God has shown me my area of service. I'm loving these kids. I have had such a blessing and found a new patience I didn't know I had. God is so good!!! Thank you, Lord, for showing me your greatness!!
