Following the Calling -Teaching and Children
I am beyond excited for what God is leading me to do in my life! As I'm getting older, I'm being called to be a leader, teacher, and just to love on children. Really, it has always been a passion to teach, and I've always had a huge heart for children! This coming week, June 17-21 I will be going to Church Camp, and this year it will be different because I'm the oldest girl! At first, I was a little weirded out because, I'm just sixteen, just a Junior, not old enough to be the oldest. So, when I was told that I was looked at as a leader, that took a while to sink in. But, after talks with God, and arguements with myself. I know where I stand and would love to lead the younger generation! So, at camp I will be doing a brief bible story with the younger girls in the youth group! I am overjoyed about this! It won't be much, but I still hoping to make an impact on those girls lives. Then, the week after camp, I will be going on my very first mission trip to St.Louis to work with the Inner City children! We will be doing basically a VBS with them, and I just can not wait for this trip! I will be in the music department with the children! Yeah, we will be doing music with them, but my main focus is to pour the love of God on these children, to make them realize that they are LOVED and that God is the best father anyone could ask for! I am so thankful that God is giving me opportunities to do what I love!

Kristen, I am glad God has called you to the same thing He called me to! We can be calling buddies :) I am happy that you are taking up leadership in these new adventures. If you ever want to job shadow a 1st grade teacher, let me know :) I'm sure Jami could fit it into your curriculum.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, that would be awesome! I would love that! :)
DeleteKristen, I am so proud of you. I love that you are figuring out God's plans for you. That is one of the best feelings in the world and I am so glad that you are being able to experience that at only sixteen, what a blessing! God is going to do great and wonderful things with your life. I love you! :)
