My darling 3 year olds....

This past Sunday was my first day volunteering in the Church Nursery. My classroom was with six 3-year olds. I received my lesson plan about a week before the first day and had read over it several times as I prepared myself for Sunday. The Bible verse that I was to teach the children was Phillipians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ. The first time that I opened up my email and saw this verse, my heart literally skipped a beat and I knew that this was exactly where I was meant to be. For those of you that don't know what this verse means to me personally, let me explain. I have a dear childhood friend who passed away in 2000 of cancer, Tana Jo Thomason. Tana was an unbelievable Christian and I know that in her short time on earth she helped bring many people to the Lord and made a huge impact on everyone she touched. I could speak all day about her uplifting personality and all the wonderful memories I have with her. This was Tana's favorite Bible verse and what she relied on during her struggle with cancer. So for me, when I saw that this was the first verse that I would be teaching my new 3 year olds, I felt that Tana was with me and that I would be making an impact in these young children's lives. God is great!

The first Sunday went very smoothly and I really cherished my time with the children! They were so pleasent, funny, and cute and I cannot wait to teach them and form a bond with each and every child. I hope that I can manage to be a positive role model for them and help in some small way along their life journey through Christ.
