i met up with cheryl and wanjee today to discuss about the plan for my new YD girls. i was initially quite scared about the dynamics of the group, but today i was really reassured because i realized that we are all on the same page (: its so cool to listen to stories of the other YD girls that they have taught in the past, and to see these girls all grown up! some of them were also my YD teachers! some of them really impacted me in my spiritual walk (:
it made me realize that these girls i'm gonna be teaching will eventually grow up and its really such an honor to be a part of their lives! it reminded me that every girl is important! she could eventually grow up to be the next YF president/ church leadership/ YD teacher, who knows? so even if there is only 1 girl in class, i must remember to give it my all! God can use even just 1. so encouraged by the perseverance of wanjee and cheryl and their love for these girls! i wonder if i could ever love them as much, but i pray that the Spirit will empower me by His grace.
it was really cool too, to talk to wanjee and cheryl. wanjee was saying something about discovering where our strengths (as teachers) are. she suggested a system where she could come up with the discussion questions, because she said that God has given her the ability to come up with questions quite easily. like when she reads the text, these questions will just "jump out" to her. and it was so amazing that she said all these things without a hint of pride - "everything was by God's grace" (: i hope that God will be able to use each of our strengths for the spiritual benefit of these precious girls (:
i'm just so happy that God has placed me here, and so excited to be able to sit-in my new YD class this week (: i have to remember that i cannot expect them to be perfect, and i have to always be prepared for discouragements. but the most important thing is to always have a praying and hopeful heart!
but a part of me is still afraid that what if i somehow cannot connect with them? but i must remember to trust in Him! He works through the weak so that all glory goes to Him!
