Sunday School

I have been helping out in Sunday School once a month for the past couple of months.  Yesterday, the lady I normally help with was sick so our pastor's wife filled in for her.  She sort of had to throw things together (I am just the helper, just show up and try to corral kids which is not always easy!).  Yesterday she hadn't had time to prepare a Bible verse for the kids to learn.  My princess has been learning verses at school, they do it by the alphabet.  I asked her if there was a verse she knew that we could memorize as a class (she remembers them better than I).  We came up with B, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" was fitting for the lesson and easy for the kids to memorize.  I think she was so proud of herself for being able to contribute and to actually say it in front of the class.  She is my shy one so whenever I see her reaching out past her comfortable boundaries, it makes me feel happy.
Just thought I would share.  It is fun to watch my kids grow up and see the people they are becoming in this world.  Oh and listening to her sing the worship songs as she cuddled next to me brought tears to my eyes.  I love the fact that they are singing praise songs and putting the Bible into their hearts!
And please, feel free to add your prayer requests to the comments section.  I really do love praying for my friends!

Hey Kristin, Thanks again for having a place to put requests.

1) My Mom's pain level has jumped the last few days and she is not doing well.

2)I am feeling completely stressed out by my clients and about ready to go buy my own private island where they can't find me.

3) My devotions keep coming up with a similar theme, follow God, listen for his voice and direction. I'm praying for the quiet and stillness so I can really listen. I'm being pulled toward something I'm just not sure what yet.

Having plans with the kiddos has been great, thanks for loaning me your kids! They always brighten my day and make me laugh. Even if I end up watching Tinker Bell: The Great Fairy Rescue a couple of times with Princess (it actually was kinda cute :)!).

Oops well that was longer than expected... thanks again. Praying for you too!!
