A Big Surprise in Biblical Studies Class

Hey, Y’all!

So, I just got out of my Biblical Studies class—and y’all ain’t gonna believe it, even if I tell you.

Check this out: My instructor had me teach the class—me, y’all! Now, ordinarily I would jump at the opportunity to teach, especially if it was Sunday School, but to teach a class of peeps at or around my age? That was quite a challenge, and I admit that I was thrown off by my instructor’s request, but I went ahead and taught the class… like I had a choice in the first place.

Well, I will say this: Before I got up to teach, I was doing some kinda praying—actually, all I said was: “Lord, it’s just You and me.” I honestly didn’t know what I would talk about, until I saw that I still had my Psalm 125 paper in my folder. I simply looked up to Heaven and smiled, and the next thing I knew, I was teaching the Biblical Studies class.

Now, I don’t know how long I taught, nor do I know everything that I talked about, but I do remember mentioning that Psalm 125 was my Grampa Clark’s favorite psalm. I also remember using both my Grampa Clark and my Gramma Jewel as prime examples of this particular psalm. And when it came down to the end of my lesson, I remember saying to the class: “Well, that’s all that I have to talk about today, but I would like to thank you all for your attention. Moreover, I wanna thank The Lord for allowing me this opportunity to stand before you and teach. God Bless.”

I heard a couple of my classmates applauding, but I think I was more concerned with sitting down and resting that I didn’t have time to care if they were applauding or not.

After the class ended, my instructor commended me for—and these were his words—“a good job well done.” He made mention that he felt like he was in a Sunday School class at church, then he went on to say that I was “an old soul in a young body.” I couldn’t help but laugh, but I assured my instructor that I had not been on this earth in a previous life. If anything, I have been taught by the best elders in my family and my church… and of course, I was quick to mention Gramma Jewel first on that list.

I have a question for you all: Is this any indication that I am truly born to teach?

Until tomorrow, y’all take care and be good.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
