weakness...

i finished my 2nd teaching today.
i taught 2nd timothy, the last book of the quarter. despite that, the students tracked very well.
it really is fun actually. i didn't really know that the person up front can tell if people are understanding/paying attention.
This group did. and for that i am thankful. it could have been challenging, with everyone disconnected, dreaming about christmas break. but it wasn't.

i am struck again by the absolute priviledge of doing what we are doing.
i get to spend over a month, studying one book of the bible, and then i get a few hours to share it. man, i can't imagine anything i would rather do...

another portion of my job, very different, is dealing with folks individually.
i have a few students i get to meet with regularily.

What a priviledge to walk through life with others! not only that, but to feel like my gifts are being used, even developed.

its actually quite humbling. i am recognizing more clearly all the time, that lives are affected by the power of the holy spirit-working through me. not by me.

scripture say His power is made perfect in our weaknesses, i am begining to think its actually true.
