So now, the decision lays on me as the teacher on what to do next. I have three bible study books laid out before me, and I just ordered one more. There so many good studies out there and it has overwhelmed me looking at them. My norm is usually a book of the Bible, with maybe a bible study outline to go with it. I could teach a topical study which really is easier, I think.
My heart wants to teach something that will give them the big picture. I am leaning toward our mission material that they use in remotes tribes, Creation to Jesus. With all that is going on in this world we need a firm foundation to stand on as things get worst almost on a daily basis. If I did not know who God is, who man is and what sin is, life would be scary right now. God is an orderly God; we should not be surprised at our world today and how much worst it will get before Jesus returns for us.
Thanks for letting me vent about being overwhelmed. Just writing this out helped me and made me a little surer on what we will study next. I love teaching about the Lord and I do it in fear and trembling knowing and acknowledging how frail I am. I need your prayers. Blessings
Praying for you, Betty! God will guide you in the right direction. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prayer. Would add on a prayer for my health. In June of 23 I had covid again and ever since then I have struggled to breathe good. Just had some test ran and I probably will be having a heart cath since something showed up on the stress test. Also, it seems there is something wrong in my lungs which showed up on a cat scan. I haven't felt well since the covid and all the symptoms have just got worst so I knew something was wrong. My voice is shot, dry cough a lot, breathless when I try to talk much. Seems in the last two years its one thing after another and they are all tied into getting older and I am sure too many Mcdonalds french fries, just kidding that one. Hope all is well with Martha. Blessings on you.
