Tomorrow...
Tomorrow I officially start teaching. I am excited, but there are still some minor details that haven't been worked out. Hopefully, all will go well. Right now, I only have part of Thursday scheduled with lessons. I am praying that the Lord will send me some more students, so that both days will be completely full. I know that He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or think!
Teaching Tip
"Your aim as a teacher is to set each pupil on fire to translate what he has learned into an ardent Christian life." ~ Guy Levitt, from Teach with Success

An Update...
Life has been crazy busy like usual. I try very hard not keep such a busy schedule, but alas that fails. This last week especially has been quite crazy.
On Sunday, I went out to lunch with most of the girls from our "Young Adults" Sunday school class and several other people. We had a good time until they kicked us out of the restaurant for staying too long. We really weren't there that long. They just wanted their tables free. Oh well. So, we went outside and hung out in front of the restaurant. We think that we probably scared some people away, because we made it look like there was a really long line to get in.
After lunch, I went over a friend's house with another girl. We had some great discussions. I have started discipling both of these girls on Wednesday nights before church. This past week was our first time. It went really great! They both have very teachable hearts and are great to work with. You can pray that the Lord gives me wisdom as I am doing this. We are going through a 26 week discipleship course.
The last several days, I have spent trying to get all the details worked out so that I can start teaching next week. There are still some things to work out, but at least I am able to get started with a full schedule on Tuesday. I am hoping some more students will sign up so I can completely fill up Thursday, as well.
I have also started playing the piano for one church service each week, plus some other things. I have decided to continue taking lessons, so I am keeping busy with lots of practicing. Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming, but I am glad to have the accountability to keep practicing.
Time to go to bed! Goodnight!

Book Review - A Heart for God
Over the summer I read, A Heart for God by Paul Chappell. This is an excellent book! I highly recommend it to anyone who truly desires to love and serve the Lord with all your heart. I found this book very easy to read and down to earth. He uses many illustrations and makes it very practical. If you're not a big reader, this is a great book for you.
"The more you apply God's Word to your life, the more you grow into the likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"A heart for God will come through the persistent pursuit of God."
