I was not raised in a Christian home, and as i grew up I did not know the Lord as my Savior, until I was married with one child.
Having a child made me realize I needed more for me and for her.
It wasn't long before accepted Jesus as my savior and unfortunately I put Him on the back burner.
I allowed my past mistakes to cloud what God had and has for me.
Until one day when I was headed to AWANA training, God spoke to my heart and He said I have forgiven you and now you need to forgive yourself, and at that moment my spiritual walk really kicked in high gear.
He showed me I am worthy and not a sum of my mistakes.
I say that because the teen years are hard and we need to make sure the students know grace mercy and consequences.
We all need to know the true Jesus and with that we need to obey and strive to live the way Jesus has instructed.
Remembering the students will make mistakes and they will have consequences, however our God is full of grace and mercy.
