Where to start...
I finished my next 2 classes, passed with good grades, and am now 1/3 of a paralegal or a "Par" as one of my friends dubbed me. =) I have a week and a half off to have a little R&R before pounding away at the next two classes.
Sunday School is going great! The girls are a treasure and I'm learning just as much as they are and well, come to think of it...possibly more. From our lesson in love a few weeks ago God has continued to grow me in it. I'm still constantly reminded of showing genuine love to people but out of that He's starting to show me that along with love comes Tolerance. Something I'm sorry to say I've lost sight of over the last year. Recently God has been working in my heart and showing me that I have developed a tendency to set an expectation level of people that when it isn't met I become irritated with them. In my flesh I want to point the finger of blame and make it all someone else's fault, but God has loved me too much to let me be so selfish. I don't like realizing that I'm wrong, but even more I don't like what I've seen in myself and want even more to be like Christ. "Love is patient, Love is kind, Love vaunteth not it's self, is not easily provoked."
God is at work in our highschool/middleschool dept. Today it was announced in our leadership meeting that the Middleschool Minister was resigning and the Highschool Minister was also resigning to go into full time Missions. I know God has a special plan for both of these men and though from my perspective our ministry will have struggles I know that the Lord is faithful to those who serve Him! He is already preparing the replacements and staff that we will need and I am excited to see His hand at work!
