How did I get suckered into this?

September 3rd, 2007 at 06:18 pm

After yesterday I was placed in charge of leading the adult group we are in. I don't like to teach adults, I haven't spoken in front of adults for... years, long years. And yet when they asked "Are you interested" Instead of saying "NO" I said "Well, I could, if, I had to, and umm.."

Yeah that was a yes to them, and now I am stuck with it.

Partly I still don't want to, I do not relish adults, nor being the one to blame. But am looking forward to actual learning taking place. I don't mind a gab fest, I just find that I enjoy learning about God's word and world, and that hasn't been happening in our group for a long time. Oh there has been an interesting tidbit or two, but in general it has been fellowship only. (which as far as I can tell is a fancy Christian word for 'talking', occasionally used to make gossiping sound better)

The other part of me loves lesson plans and organizing and the spirit of teaching..even if only adults. Lesson plans are something I really don't get to do much with the kids. Most of our learning is spontaneous, which is great, but for a teacher like me...not as much fun Smile. Now somewhere there is a teacher dreading having to come up with lesson plans who would think me crazy, sorry I think the same of one who enjoys writing computer code, to each our own!

Now to figure out how to cram 7 sessions of 3 hours each into 14 sessions of 45 minute classes....

    Well now that you are in charge, you have the chance to make it fun and meaningful like you wanted it to be! Remember, just pray and the big guy should give you a lead on what you need to do! Remember, its always HIM! Smile
