"And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." |Galatians 5:24|
Those that know me, know I have a passion for children like none other. Where does that passion stem from? God. The moment I said, yes, save this wretched sinner; the Holy Spirit came to dwell in me. As God's child, He entrusted me with gifts and talents to further His kingdom. He gave me purpose. He called me to administration, leading, and teaching in a world of children.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above..." |James 1:17|
God + Gifts = Children! For 18 years God used me as an administrator, leader, and teacher in a Christian school and Church Children's Ministry. Leading children to Christ. Joy. Pure joy!
I loved being an administrator and being able to coordinate and create. I also enjoyed leading teachers in hopes that they would see a small glimpse of my heart and share the love I have for His children. As for the teaching of academics, I dreaded it! Bible. Just let me teach Bible and love them like Christ all day long.
My heart overflowed with joy from each hug I received over the years from God's precious children. I never can pass a child without giving them a hug in hopes they will feel the love of Christ through me. Children. They're priceless.
I was honored to lead this young man above to Christ and I know that He is going to open the door for me to plant more seeds in the hearts of many more children.
|Start a fire in my soul. Fan the flame and make it grow. So there's no doubt or denying. Let it burn so brightly. That everyone around can see. That it's you, that it's you that we need. Start a fire in me.|
It is never too late to find your passion in Christ.
You look so radiantly happy in all of these photos, how beautiful.
