5 reasons i am not a teacher

1. When i have to teach Sunday School i majorly stress for a week in advance. Even when i know i have a good lesson i constantly worry about it and it turns me into a nervous wreck.
2. my face turns unbelieveable shades of red when i have to stand up in front of anybody, much less keep them interested in what i have to say for 45 minutes
3. it always takes me a couple of days to recover from and forget any embarrassing moments from my teaching experiences
4.i am a procrastinator by nature and the more i procrastinate the more worried about my lesson i become and i end up not being as ready as i should have been when the time comes around
5. if i had to go through that every day of the week i would be in a mental institution by now!
All this to say: mom, Patty, Colleen, Daddy, shanny, Aunt Julie, and everyone else i know who is a teacher, I admire you much but i do not envy you!!!
(in case you couldn't tell i am teaching sunday school this week and am stressing about it).

You are a more gifted teacher than you give yourself credit. Also, don't try to do this on your "own". Approach only with caution and with earnest prayer that the Holy Spirit guide you. You will be amazed at what a difference it makes. Trust me, but more importantly, Trust HIM! :o)
Love ya! MOM

Hey Damien! This is Erin's Mom! Hope you are doing well! I think the blog site won't allow the anonymous thing. You CAN register with a fake name! HA! How's school? Hope you have a MERRY CHRISTMAS! Miss elaine

I used to be like that too! Believe me, if you had to do it everyday, you'd get over it fast... you should have come to Japan for a year with me!
