Have you ever met someone that just stole your heart? Saturday I had the opportunity to help with child care at a conference. Other CYIAers and I got to teach the kids. I fell in love with two girls in particular. The first girl wanted me as an older sister, I told her I really wasn't that fun of an older sister. Another girl would not listen to the story; she was more content to stare at the picture of Goliath on the wall and pretend to throw things at him. I sat by her to try and get her to pay attention. She started to talk to me, but it was about the lesson, the other kids were not disturbed by it, and that way I knew she was listening and could check her understanding. During the review game the question of how to get to heaven was ask. I ask the girl if she knew; she told me that it was by being really good. I wanted to tell her the truth, but just then I had to get up and teach. I tried to make it very clear in my teaching how to be saved. I didn't get to talk to her anymore after that because I had to leave for work. I hated to leave, and I have to admit that I pouted for quite a while at work.
I also have some exciting news! At CYIA every year we have a team that demonstrates the 5-day club the night before the teens have to teach. Well, I am on that team! We have approximately 150 students at CYIA and I have to teach of them all. If I mess up, all the teens teaching that might mess it up too. Needless to say, I am kinda nervous. I am also teaching a 50 minute class this Saturday at our CYIA Pre-training. Summer's coming! I got the kit for the summer yesterday; you might way that I was a LITTLE bit excited!
I have put my application in to Moody of Spokane, WA. We will see what happens with that. I am still on the fence about going, but if I get accepted I will probably go.
Thank you all for your continued prayer!
