I am to give a talk to teens in this outreach center on Thurs evening. It is not a Catholic center (which I’d love) but God led me to this place. Anyway, I felt the Holy Spirit moving me to talk abt Phil 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
So my talk centers around how God empowers us to make choices that are good for us in everything that we do and it is by practice that we become good at hearing what God would want for us in tiny baby steps. In these small everyday choices, what we listen to, who we hang around with, how we dress, what we read all fill our minds.
Wow, I’ve kind of stepped out in faith in my attempt to reach out and help kids learn life skills. I feel very passionate abt this and have for a while. I felt God leading me toward something, and I don’t think this is the end Thurs night I think it is just the beginning.
Funny thing my training is in engineering, not teaching, not life skills…not at risk kids!! So I am supposed to begin to develop some materials for their curriculum!!! Why did I agree to that?? Except to say with God all things are possible.
It’s like I see or feel a horizon there of possibilities if only I would continue to answer and move. So I ask for your prayers of confidence for Thurs night and that the Holy Spirit would continue to move me to get these materials together as they should come together and that I would make sure to take a break to listen in the interim. Ha!!
Brothers and sisters please wish me luck I am nervous. Mostly because I am not someone who is perfect or saintly just continuing to strive like everyone else. But I am so wishing to serve Him, that I will be a fool if necessary. If anyone thinks I’m out of my mind and I should leave this to someone qualified I could listen to that also. I just don’t think these skills are taught even to kids who are not ‘at-risk’.
