Laffy Taffy

I love to serve women. Put me with a woman to talk to and encourage. Put me with a woman to counsel and pray with. Put me in a group of women to facilitate. Put me on stage and tell me to talk to them. I'll do it. Put me in a class with 10 children and tell me I have to stay there for 2 hours - shudder. What the heck was I thinking. I am really out of my comfort zone here.

Knowing God has put me here with a purpose I am trusting that he will equip me to stay and do a good job. I want to want to do this. I want to make these little ones (I got assigned 18 - 24 month olds) feel safe and secure. I want them to be entertained and distracted for 2 hours without mommy. I want them to hear about Jesus and have a positive association in their experience at CBS. I want the moms to feel secure leaving their children with me so that they can discuss the bible and learn and grow together.

At this point I am feeling a bit like Laffy Taffy. Stretched out and flopped over. I am certainly not able to do this on my own. But, "I can do all things throught Christ who gives me strength." (Phillipians 4:13)
