It’s like that moment before a kiss or the second before a jump off the diving board: nervous anticipation. This anticipation causes my hands to shake, voice to quiver, head to spin! Why? Well, because teaching God’s word is an honor and a blessing that comes with a responsibility and personal promise to—in the words of a So You Think You Can Dance judge—leave it on the dance floor.
We’re one week from the summer series and I’m excited and nervous and hopeful. Every year God never ceases to amaze me by amount of women who are hungry for God’s word and a place to worship.
Next Tuesday the series begins and my hope is that lives are changed with the following:
- We would know what a life marked by love looks like
- We would learn how to mark every aspect of our life with the love of Christ
- We grow in our passion, zeal, and pursuit of God
- We find a place to call home and worship freely with other believers
- We leave filled and empowered to continue living out the purpose God has called us to
Another personal goal of mine is that I keep my junk together. No, I’m serious. The week before I teach, it’s like all the bells in hell go off and I:
- Gain weight
- Have the patience of an toddler
- Cry like Jeremiah the weeping prophet
- Contemplate joining a convent
Maybe not all at once, but at any given time I may appear to be like Cybil or Khloe Kardashian and have multiple personalities. I’ve never publicly shared this with everyone before, but I’m shamelessly soliciting prayer… and lots of it! Instead of people thinking I’m calm, cool, and collected, I need you know that I’m petrified, yet assured. And this assurance allows me to brazenly teach with the power God has given me.
Sincerely,
The Weeping Prophet
