Bible Club

For over a year the Lord has impressed upon me to start some sort of bible study/class with the neighborhood kids. This is something I was not excited about! I didn't want to go and knock on doors. I didn't want to take time out of my day to do this. But He never let it go.

At our church we start the new year with fasting, prayer, and teachings. They call it "Prepare". This year as I stood in worship on the first night I prayed that God would lead me to where ever I needed to go. I was willing. That night, and the 2 following, He once again in His gentle way nudged me and told me to start this "Bible Club". I decided right then and there that I would do it.

Flash forward to today; March 1st. Today will be my first day. I was still fearful and this is a month late, but the kids have been invited. I have a lesson (that God gave me a month ago) . I have snacks. I have games and crafts. I am ready.

I woke up early, this is a new thing for me but I like it, and began to look at the Word. The Lord led me to 1 Kings to Elijah. Elijah was scared but the Lord protected and sustained him in his calling! God showed up in a big  overwhelming way.

Then the Holy Spirit moved me to Matthew 18. Jesus says "Whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me. ". Wow! God is good! His Word is living and active and this is proof. I just opened my bible. And He led me to where I needed to go! I am going to blog again this afternoon with pictures and details.
