Feeling Ugly?


God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time.
(Ecc. 3:11)

Feeling ugly? Depressed? There is a far greater picture than you and I can see! And the master designer uses His tools to free-form ultimate beauty on the canvas of our lives! He uses His colors — both bright and very, very dark — to paint a picture and each stroke tells a story.

For now, the picture has not yet been realized. It doesn’t seem an appropriate time for the beauty. But, the master has not yet completed the prized possession. Once the beauty emerges, the value will be priceless. The meshing of the rich colors will have come together. Men and women also will look upon it and recognize it’s true worth.

– Your beauty will emerge in God’s appropriate time! –

Not Able!

The Apostle Paul stated: “who is sufficient for these things…” (II Cor. 2:16). He also reminds us that “our sufficiency is of God” (II Cor. 3:5)! He has placed DREAMS [as with Jacob] in our hearts and minds at very early stages in our lives. He has shown many of us what we will be and do, many years prior to those things coming to pass. Others of us have destinies waiting to be fulfilled and things yet to be realized. God has placed quite a few of us in undeserved places, and given us the ability to perform way beyond what we could have been or done on our own. His Spirit patiently directs those who are led by it and He gives us glimpses into the mind of Christ to perform the will of God. Who then is sufficient? Who is able? Who knows the mind of God? Yet…God reveals His plans by His Spirit, bringing us to new vistas…new dimensions. Even when we falter, He is ever present to strengthen us for seemingly insurmountable tasks. God is our strength! We come to learn that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us! And if we need encouragement…there is a spark in our lowly spirits that God has shown us where He alone continues to ignite in His times!

You are not able! You do not qualify to boast of your abilities. They are God-given and without Him we can do nothing! Be humble! Wait on the Lord, and be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord!

A Report Card for Teachers-In-Training (Handout)


WILL YOU BE OFFERING A CLASS FOR YOUR TEACHERS-IN-TRAINING? They would love to have something written, showing them their strengths and weaknesses. Or…maybe you would like to offer your current teachers a report so they can gauge how they are doing.

To get started, have a meeting and hand out a card to all teachers and explain each entry. Tell teachers that the superintendent or a representative will plan to visit his/her class and grade them on their abilities. After the class is over, they will receive a copy of the report. Make yourself available to each teacher to talk about their grades. You will find the card is based on Elder Mike Wilson’s “The Seven “Ps” Of Effective Teaching”:

1- Personal Teaching
(teaches out of experience; can identify with the biblical author)

2- People-oriented Teaching
(mindful of ministering to people)

3- Purposeful Teaching
(able to reach definite goals in teaching)

4- Protective Teaching
(doesn’t allow class to drift)

5- Persuasive Teaching
(has ability to influence the thoughts of students with the Word of God)

6- Powerful, Repetitive Teaching
(ability to repeat points without boring class)

7- Progressive Teaching
(teaches with movement, like a good story)

The sample card was created with 4 cards on an 8.5 x 11 sheet.
After printing the cards, they need to be cut into fourths.

You will find a sample of a Teacher-In-Training Report Card below:
