As some of you may know I teach elementary drama to 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. It's been a fun and challenging experience. Today was our last day of drama club and so we had a lot of things to finish up before our performance, so when I was walking down the hall and saw one of the 3rd graders I asked him, "Hey are you excited for drama today?" He gave me a big grin and replied, "Yes! But I forgot my costume, so my mom might bring it!"
"Oh," I said, "Did you call her and ask for it?"
He looked at me with kind of a confused expression on his face and said, "No, but this morning we prayed and so I think she'll bring it."
Ah to have the faith of an elementary student. As I was retelling this story to one of my fellow teacher friends we laughed at the silliness of the boy's response, but as we talked about it more we were reminded of a child-like faith, and I suddenly found myself wishing I had more faith in Christ just as this boy had in his mom.
I've been going through the process of making the decision for next year, and I need to have more faith. God is faithful and He will always come through. In Dueteronomy 7:9 it says that, " Know that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God." He will be faithful to me, He will answer my prayers, and He will provide a way for me to continue my ministry here. What a great reminder today that if God is calling me to Faith Academy next year then He will make it possible. All the money and prayers will come I just need to have a more child-like faith in God.
