Lesson Learned

I teach Sunday School at church every other week. I absolutely love it. It's the most perfect thing for me because I love to teach but I'm not that passionate or knowledgeable about too many things, so I study the lesson, get passionate and knowledgeable about it and then teach it to the class. I love the class too-they are way funny and make really good comments so I end up learning a lot and we have discussion. I hate it when you are in a class and its just the teacher talking the whole time. So I hope I don't do that.... Anyway, so on Sunday I was teaching and the lesson was on the creation and how God created everything we have for us and the earth was created by Him, and so on. Well, it had been an especially rough week for me, I even thought about not even going to church-I really felt like crap and didn't want to teach but knew I would end up going-and I learned the biggest lesson from...my...lesson. It was towards the end of the lesson and I was just bearing testimony that what we were talking about was true. I was saying "I know that God created the earth for us, I know that He cares about us and He loves us sooo much, we are precious to Him" and inside my head there was distinctly the thought "Yes, Amy, even you. You are precious to Him. He loves you." Wow. It was weird but way cool at the same time. I learned such an important lesson-sometimes we need to heed the words we teach others. He does love us-all of us (yes, even me!) and He gives us little tender mercies at just the moment we need them. I am thankful for that and for the opportunity I have to "teach" Sunday School. :)

P.S. It's 5:00 on Friday so can I get a WOO HOO for the weekend!? And I'm going dancing tonight-sooo needed :D
