Getting ready for another weekend getaway. Suzy and I are venturing to the deep south. The deep south of Southern Iowa that is. We are going to be visiting her sister in Burlington, Iowa. I for one could say so much more about this trip but considering this site is public and I'm of the Christian Faith I choose to be silent. That is all I will say at this point.
This last Wednesday night after our Bible Study at church I sat with Pastor and another man from church. We discussed a few topics that were on our hearts. One of which was on Pastor Will's heart. He wants us to start switch hitting for each other on Wednesday nights. This would mean coming up with our own lessons and perhaps having outlines and so on. I felt a heavy pit in my stomach as he looked me in the eyes and asked if I had thought about teaching some. I haven't really thought about it much. I guess I get nervous whenever I do. But Pastor thinks I should. So here I sit with ideas flowing through my head on things I could teach about. I'm almost feeling stirred up about this whole thing but I feel I should pray and think more on this. That's all for now. ttfn.

SOO AWESOME!!! Praying for you!
I'm with Pastor Will, I think you should do it. It won't hurt to give it a shot for a period of time and then sit down with him and evaluate whether this is something God is calling and gifting you to do. Ultimately though, you will know best if God is calling you to teach His Word and to step through this door of opportunity. Either way, it is a great compliment to receive such confidence from your Pastor. I'm proud of you.
Stinking AWEsome! Go for it. I remember the first time I was asked to lead a lesson for our growth group. I was freaking on the inside. Now though I may not be the best but I am comfortable taking it on if I need to. Step out in faith my friend! You can do it.
What an awesome gift, to be able to share the word of God with others.
