Just today, after class, a person told me that the lesson was particularly applicable for her; and she was encouraged by the example of the Scripture passage and the truth taught there. Another person said that the fact he keeps coming to class says a lot, especially since he is one who does not think that women should teach; though he said that he felt I was facilitating more than teaching; and the he appreciated how we try to focus on accurate study of Scripture based on evidence and fact.
In service, I was actually encouraged and motivated through the example of our youth pastor, in what he said right before the prayer for the offering. He said that as he thought about tithing and giving this week, he saw that this was a privilege for us to participate in the Work of God. To me, it was a reminder that we need to walk with Him throughout the week, in order for Him to teach us and give us insights to help us in when we serve and teach. I'm once again convicted to keep my mind on things above; and to be diligent during the week to seek God and allow Him to teach.
Even yesterday, I was encouraged because our time of fellowship in our class get-together turned out well. I was also able to nicely use the tablecloths that I had bought at the swap meet, even though I had started having buyer's remorse before. I thank God for causing things to work together. I've also been encouraged that there have been so many who have truly wished me well for my Birthday; and it's been neat to have been able to celebrate it in so many different occasions with different people, even with my class yesterday.
I thank Him for giving me encouragement, especially when I am in need of it.
