Many of you wanted to know how the class went on Monday. Since I can't say the word "cool" any more... I'll say fab. I think the kids really enjoyed learning about Spiritual Gifts and discovering some of their own.
I'll be back in the classroom today talking about how our unique personalities and spiritual giftedness can be helpful indicators for the types of careers for which we are wired. I am really enjoying this opportunity this week.
I am excited that my daughter's school is doing these types of assessments early on in her high school career.
When I was my daughter's age, I went through a season thinking I wanted to be a nurse. My mom is a nurse. My sister is a nurse.
Had I taken a spiritual gifts test and seen that I actually score very low in the mercy department it would have saved me the torture of taking certain science classes that made my brain hurt and my throat gag.
Interestingly enough, Hope scored very high on mercy the other day. And guess what she wants to be one day? A nurse. It runs in the family. Only it skipped me. Sigh.
I think it is a great thing that she wants to be a nurse. It makes me feel more secure about getting older. You know that little thing where she'll have to one day take care of me? I have a feeling that I will be a wild old lady. And this whole thought makes me smile.
I can see it now.
She'll come to my old folks residence to teach some class about geriatric health concerns. Before she comes, we'll have us a little discussion on her coolness factor lest she embarrass me in front of all my Bingo Buddies or Senior Electric Slide Sisters!
And I will most certainly remind her that if I throw out "this look" she is to stop whatever it is that she's doing. Oh yes, I so look forward to those days.
Don't you think that we should have a whole wing at our old folk residence reserved for us bloggy sisters? Oh think of all the fun trouble we could get into together!

Speaking of sisters sticking together... I have a very generous friend named Melinda in the bloggy world who is doing a giveaway I must tell you about.
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a little about my healing journey from my painful past. So many of you commented and shared your own heartbreaking experiences. I believe holding secrets inside renders many, many women ineffective for the cause of Christ.
One of the things I did that helped me break free from the shame of my "secret" was to participate in a Post Abortion Bible study that radically changed my life.
This week Melinda is doing an incredible giveaway with Pat Layton's new book and Bible Study from LifeWay called "Surrendering the Secret." Whether you enter to win the resources she's offering for yourself or for your church's library... this giveaway is an amazing opportunity for many women to be helped.

And don't forget to sign up to be my Bingo Buddy. Or if you are more of an Electric Slide Sister, that's great too. Happy Wednesday everybody!
