kids

so, i always wanted to be a teacher...for as long as i could remember...there was no doubt in my mind that was what i was going to do with my life...fast forward 5 years or so...
before having alexa i was pretty involved in children's church. well that passion (and boy did i have it)kinda got put on the backburner...evenmore so when joss was born. but that was ok for that season.
a few months ago i really felt the lord tellng me that i needed to get back involved. i didn't really have it in me to do, but i did it. then god birthed in me a whole new, fresh vision for what HE wanted to do in our kids.
at home, the lord has really been showing me great, practical ways to teach alexa. it is so awesome to see her esponding and understanding. silly stuff like singing, praising and dancing around the house...but that is not what i was writing about.
i know that in order for our kids to choose god and not need to run to the world they need to have real experiences with him. that is what we want for our children.
so, talking to aother parent at church and telling her about my getting back involved she had a lot to say. she had jsut been at a conference and it was amazing. a little girl at our church (9yrs) had a vision and she shared it church 1 morning and the place was in tears. she shared all about the conerence and so the burning began.
then i watched jesus camp...if you haven't seen it, get it. it is awesome! i was in tears. i just sat there and prayed and asked god to use me to usher in that kind of annointing to our kids. but wait....am i prepared to be challenged? am i prepared to change my whole way of thinking? YES GOD!!!!
we got some great curriculum and teachers. andre and i taught the other week and it was awesome. we are teaching about how to hear god's voice. at the end, we put on some jason upton and prayed over the kids...god was speaking...the holy spirit was definitely praying through us. when we were finished we asked the kids what god spoke and about 5 of them shared. it was awesome!
i am so full of expectation at what god wants to do.
we are to train our children to be part of the army of god...not whimpy christians. we want our kids to be holy ghost kids that turn their generation upside down.
i will keep you posted on all that god does!
i don't know about you...but i am excited!
