WOW...

I had an unusual experience today. It was not bad, it was rather good, actually! Here goes...

For the first time in a long time, I really enjoyed work today. I was totally excited about the material I was going over, totally excited about seeing and spending time with my kids, and just especially positive and encouraging. It can ONLY be the Holy Spirit pouring through me to those I teach and serve. WOW! It was so great, THANK YOU JESUS for such a great day!

On several occasions, I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience, and just marveling at the enthusiasm I had for the kids and especially for the math I was teaching. At one point today during tutoring, a student presented a problem I wasn't sure how to do. And then all of a sudden all of this math knowledge just came flooding out of me... I don't know where it came from, except Jesus!! SWEET!!! I mean, how cool is that?

I finally got a glimpse, a sweet taste, of what it is like to "walk in the Spirit" at work. I have been struggling with what that looks like, feels like, sounds like. I've wondered how I make that happen. But I DON'T make it happen. I can't contribute it to a fantastic quiet time this morning, or a wonderful experience at church last night or anything... just the Spirit's presence on me, all day. It was unbelievable.

I pray that we can all have that feeling at some point; of God just FLOWING through us and doing what we can't. Yay!
