So this week has been an amazing week... and God is at work. I also got the privilege to teach an RMPS class this week, and I could not have asked for a better class. During this lesson I got to teach about who Jesus was as well as give different reasons to why Jesus is real and not just a good man or completely crazy.You would be surprised with how many kids do believe that Jesus is just a complete lunatic. I taught on the Crucifixion was well as the Resurrection and had a series of questions that went a long with each heading. The questions were a really good tool to get the students to talk and to give me a better insight of what it is that they believe in. As I went around answer the kids questions there were some answers that really surprised me. One kid even compared the life of Christ to the development of aliens. It seemed to me that these kids were just very confused about what it means to really have a faith, and even more confused about the life of Christ. At the end of the class I asked how many of the students had never been to a church service, all except three kids raised their hands. Meaning that there were only 3 kids in a class of about 22 that had been to church. The good thing is that they were more then willing to listen and they raised some great questions about how Jesus got arrested and put on the cross! So all I can do and ask you all to do is just pray that the seed that was planted will continue to be fed. These kids are so pure of heart.. just wish they could know and understand that they have a Savior seeking them with arms wide open, waiting for them to come home. All they have to do is ask!
Also I must mention and ask for prayer for some of the girls that I am getting very close too. Their are some girls that are facing struggles, just like other teenage girls, but I can just see so much hurt in some of their eyes. I remember what it was like being in high school and desiring to fit in and look a certain way. I just ask that you all could pray for me to be strengthened. Some of the issues that these girls are dealing with are taking me back to the time in my life where I was dealing with the same issues and feeling some of the same emotions that I felt. However, I praise God for the trials that he has brought me through. Each one has been a blessing and in the beginning he knew that I would be were surrounded with girls searching for the same answers that I was searching for almost 7 years ago. Just pray that Gods words will be on my lips and that his love will just radiantly shine through me. I just pray that God will be done and if that means that I have to be uncomfortable, then let it be. Pray for these girls so that they may see their beauty that is seen through the eyes of their creator.
