My burden...
I have such a strong burden for children. I mean, you have no idea. I just started teaching in our nursery, and man I gotta tell ya.. I love it! It's so fun to just let loose and be a kid again. I love helping the children learn the love of our God. Just to be able to see the look on their faces when you say, "Jesus loves you."--It's worth everything. I believe that children are a vital part in the church of God. They are not the church of tomorrow, they are the church of today! They will be the ones to take over when we're long gone. We need to teach them now, we need to reach them- NOW! It is said that 3 out of 4 children will leave the church when they're 18. How sad, but true, this is. It is also said that by the age of 13, a child decides what they're going to believe for the rest of they're life. Wow. We need to reach our children more than ever before; through teaching, discipleship, prayer groups- we need to do everything we can to reach them and keep them in the church. And I am determined to be a part of this. I don't know how, but I'm starting now. Even the littlest things help. And this... this is my burden.
