God is working. Whether you see it or not, He is at work.
God has continued to test me throughout the 5-day clubs already! I had been praying for a partner so that I would not have to venture out on my own, at least for the first week. So when I took a look at my itinerary I was so happy to be partnered with Nekaelly! I was so happy that I did not have to go out on my own! But God had other plans I guess. Nekaelly ended up not being able to teach until today (Wednesday) because she was on a quizzing trip. So the first day, (Monday) I was absolutely terrified! I felt sick to my stomach, and I almost cried. But God definitely taught me that i can do all things through him who gives me strength.
Normally, I don’t work with kids a lot. They drain me and that is not where I am talented at all. So when god called me to teach 5-day clubs I was kind of shocked. So I definitely learned that God does not always use us where we are strong. He likes to put us in places where we have to rely on him for strength. Just like he made Gideon’s army tiny so that all the glory would go to god, he does that to us.
Also, Gideon was a coward. God told him to go where he was most vulnerable, leading an army.
God definitely took me out of my comfort zone, first working with kids, second of all not having a partner. But now I feel so comfortable going to my clubs and I know that that is only because of God. He has continued to give me renewed strength! It’s crazy!
Thank you God!!
God answered my prayer by telling me to wait. I was going to have a partner, but first I had to rely on him to get me through the days until Nekaelly came.
Don’t be afraid or angry when god says wait, he is doing it for your good. Now I am so happy that god had me teach on my own first, so that I could see how much I needed him.
So many kids have asked Jesus into their hearts already!! I think there has been 11 kids so far!! I am so excited about what God is doing! It’s crazy! I honestly can’t get over how incredible God is!! There are so many days that I think “I totally just butchered that story and invitation” and then the kids still raise their hands wanting to ask Jesus into their hearts to forgive them and save them.
You don’t have to be a good story teller (not saying you shouldn’t give it your all) but God will work through you if you just say yes. Go where he leads you and he will work it all out for his will.
I am still afraid sometimes when I go to a club, but God continues to give me peace when I ask for it. It is so comforting to know that God, who made everything, is there with me.

I had this one little girl come to one of my clubs, where she accepted Jesus into her heart. I then asked her if she had a Bible at her house and she told me that she didn’t, so I gave her a Bible. She had the biggest smile on her face and she was so happy! Honestly I just want to thank God for working in all the kids hearts! I love to see the joy on their face when they ask Jesus to forgive them and ask Him into their hearts!
