As a former track athlete, yes I know it's hard to believe looking at my full-figured physique of 40, I remember those words..."Runners to your mark, get set," "BANG" the starter's pistol fires. They were words of anticipation. Words that encapsulate a moment. I remember hearing my breathing...oxygen flowing in and out, butterflies flittering throughout my stomach, sweat rolling down my face as I prepared to give my maximum effort. All of my preparation and training was about to be put to the test and there was no where to hide, no one else to carry the load, nothing to do but perform at my best.
I pray that as we prepare to minister to kids we catch those moments where time is encapsulated. We will study the lessons we'll present, we will pray for the grace of God to touch the lives of the children and when the class begins all we have to do is perform at our maximum. Our preparation and training will show itself and we will do our best. However, instead of being alone, God will be with us to carry us to the victory.
Be Blessed!
