What I've Been Thinking About

Posted by Ashley Hoover

As I've been teaching the kids in my Good News Clubs, I've been humbled by how many answers I don't have for them. As we've searched together for the Truth from God's Word it has challenged me to start memorizing Scripture again. This past week I've taught some challenging lessons for me personally as well. It's left me feeling a little hypocritical as I think about areas in my life that need improving. Sometimes I wonder how God can use a person like me that is so far from His standard. I am preparing to share my testimony and how God called me to missions with the children in my Monday GNC next week. I heard this song the other day and wanted to share it with you. It sums up some of my feelings as I'm a bit overwhelmed with the responsibility of teaching children. The consequences of right and wrong teaching are eternal. Thank you for praying for me as I share the Gospel with children. I am very aware that I need them!

Should I Tell Them by Shaun Groves

Walking with You is not without hazards
Tripping's this traveler's curse
The price paid for falling is more than my stumble
In a world that is watching and waiting for worst
But I listened when you said to go
And I set out in spite of my fears
I brought truth mixed with my imperfections
And the question of what to say when I got here
And now that I'm here

Chorus:
Should I tell them that You are
The One who has made me
And saved me to set up a home there inside
Should I tell them that I am
A perfect example of all You can do with a life
What should I say to them, what if I'm failing them?
What should I tell them tonight?

Don't get me wrong
I'm thankful to be here
With this song to sing and a spotlight on me
But lately I'm wondering if You are mistaken
If You're seeing all of me there is to see
But on every face I detect
These same questions I've posed to you
Like do You speak through the imperfect
Or are we too dirty for Your light to get through
I want You're light to get through

(chorus)

'Cause they're thirsty but my cup is empty, Lord
Come and meet me here in this place
'Cause I'm unashamed, but I'm unprepared
And I'm just plain afraid
(chorus x2)
