God's Hands

Sorry this is the first blog I've done in a long while - I've been crazy busy. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that God has been working in my life lately. All through the month of August, the youth group has been teaching the Sunday night children's ministry. Each week, we have a different lesson we are to go over with the kids. A couple weeks ago, we had the lesson that Jesus is the good Shepard and will lay down his life for his sheep. The night we did this lesson, the kids were wild. I felt like I was telling them to listen more often than actually teaching. But later that night, I was informed that some of the kids had asked about how to become a Christian. It amazed me that God used me, just a normal teenager with an extaordinary God, to minister to these sweet kids.

Also, this Sunday morning I'm doing the chat time thing in front of the church, and I am very nervous. I'm still not sure what I'm going to talk about, but I know from experience that God will give me te words He wants me to say. I am so thankful that I have been given the opportunity to minister to the children of our church. Though I am nervous, I am truly blessed to be able to minister and show others - especially the kids - Christ's love. For I know I was put here to be God's hands, so I pray I will do just that in order to glorify Him.
