Thrown in the thick of it
Sometimes we do are best work when we don't think about "how" we're going to do it.
To help a couple friends out at church I'm now a choreographer helper, and room manager:) So, I go to my first duty and talk to the dance teacher. hummm... She quickly...very quickly walks through the first motions to a song that I'm suppose to help teach. Hummm...then nice lady took me to another room and went through it once more. So, now I have gone through it twice:) great! My only problem is that I don't know the song! My new quest is to get a CD so I can at least know the songs before learing the motions. I'm thinking that might help. What do ya think? Well, after my very quick lesson I moved to my next duty. I was glad to get to my room early so I could look at what I had to work with. The Director, my friend, had hoped to be up there with me to "show me the ropes" but had to help in another class and figured I could handle it. Hummm....Funny that I had so many people coming to me asking questions. We survived.
I actually enjoyed it. It was crazy at times but I enjoyed helping and showing people who had never helped in a kids small Bible group before. I was only sad about one thing. One of my old boys from my last year's group was back and was disappointed that I wasn't teaching:( He asked me if I'd teach next semester and I said maybe but I still wanted to see him here every week and here all his great stories:( That was a bummer. I hope I put him in a good group. He's a good kid. At the end of the night I felt like I was useful! That's a big deal...It made me smile.
