The Lessons...

God, give me the words to speak.  That is my prayer tonight.  God, I don't know what to write about...  what is it I am supposed to say?  My thoughts are a little all over the place.  I have one blog that is a "working project", the story is not done so I don't feel like its ready to be posted.  

Then I have these private moments where I have been granted a small picture of pain in the lives of my friends; l
ike a quiet revelation.  My heart breaks for those situations. Please know I am praying for you; your names on my heart.

Yes, today I am praying for direction.  

So I will write about my day!  I went to a conference today for Children's Ministry Workers.  I started off by taking a class geared towards toddlers, since that is the group I will be working with more and more.  The class reminded me that my faith and salvation are really simple...

God loves us all. (John 3:16; 1 John 4:16; Isaiah 49:16)  He knows us; our hearts, in every single detail (Psalm 139).  That all I need to do is show these little ones that I love them and care for them like God loves me.  So simple!

Then I took a class about Autism and the irresistible church; the information shared blew me away.  The statistics, the sensory issues - it is staggering.  I am again humbled and blessed all at once.  Someone very close to my family has been diagnosed with Autism and she amazes me.  In all the differences I see in her, I am in awe of the beauty that comes through along with all the ways she is very much the same.

The next class was about ministering to those that have other disabilities.  Engraved on my heart today, forever changing my mind was this one simple truth -  Bodies may be broken but the soul is not!  I know this, but I didn't get it until today.   I am reminded of Her.  The soul is not broken.  The mind may work different than mine but it works, I need to change my way of thinking.

There were some ideas to take to the classroom with my little ones every Sunday but amongst the puppets and the noise makers arose the life lessons, the ones you can use every day.  These ideas aren't just applicable to preschool aged children but to all.

Love everyone, you can plant the seeds, water them and nurture them and an amazing human being will rise up...

The classes today and the conversations this week have taught me that we're all a little broken, some brokenness is just more evident than others.

Great grace... Such grace.

Once again, you make it easy to pray for you and your project. God will direct people to your blogs as their need arises. It is refreshing to have someone remind us that we are all suffering some degree of brokenness! Be aware! Know in your heart and spirit! that God uses what you share to repair and to awaken those in need! All is to the glory of God.
