Bible Studies and Busted Heads
May 9, 2008 by kaybaylor
I teach 3 services on Sunday mornings. In my last class most of the kids are have already come to one of the earlier services, so instead of going on with the regular lesson we have a class discussion about life, and Christianity and how it applies in each of there lives. I really enjoy it and look forward to the crazy questions from… “Does God love Jews more than us?” to “Does God have a wife?”
A few Sundays back, I showed the kids a video on the highly esteemed youtube. And instantly the kids tried to convince me to show other videos of other random things. I didn’t show any of there request in fear that a slew of unexpected cuss words would make its way into impressionable ears. But i took there requests and watched them at home to see if they were appropriate.
Those were the stupidest video request I have ever seen… Music Video voice over to the Mario Brothers and Halo?
I then remembered a video from me in my high school musical my Junior year- I busted my head open on stage… I uploaded it to youtube and here it is…I suggest you watch it at least twice for full effect.
Enjoy:
They loved it. They were especially pleased that it was me receiving the pain.
So how does this apply to Christianity???
1) God has a plan and a purpose for each of our lifes…
Which is why I’m still alive.
-As a baby Ive had roughly 35 pounds of glass fall on top of me
-I was electrocuted at a pee wee ball park when I was 8, cutting out the electricity in 5 fields
-I was attacked by a Rottweiler and walked away with stitches
-When I was 3 I was run over by a pickup truck. It ran over my legs. If it ran over me any lower I would be permanently crippled, possible amputation. Any higher I would have died from eternal bleeding.
-I also wrecked my brothers pickup… rolling it 5 times.
-Not to mention countless other brainless feats and stupid endeavors. In elementary school I was know as “the girl that jumped off tall things.”
Were all alive for a reason.. Otherwise why would we be alive. God has continually confirmed the plan he has for my life. And he has an exciting and wonderful plan for you. If your not living to do what your created for… why would life be worth living?
2) Nothing has been more excited in my life than the Love of Christ
Ive been blessed to experience (or survive) allot of things in my life. But nothing has been more thrilling that what the experience of the Love of Christ.
3) I’m a disaster… and a wonderful Creation.
Im honestly a human time bomb, if you hear a car alarm outside, chances are… its me.
But I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Sometimes I wish that I wasn’t so crazy or prone to find disaster.. but that’s the way God made me. I’ll embrace it.
Just as God made you for a certain purpose, He has given you certain qualities to fulfill it.
Know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
-Kay
He Holds everything together?
I know so! because God has it written!
and to add tangible proof, your stories of IQ 10 feats is inspiring, and reminds me of my close encounters with death,
I will share one,
There was this really deep river, and a few “friends” and I were sitting on the ledge of this very nice rock ( This rock was really nice
I often daydream of things and kind of phase out of conversations at times. For some reason, one of my friends thought it would be funny to get me wet and push me into the very deep river.
As a young lad, I screamed like a girl, not recognizing that I would need that precious air to breathe under water. So I sink to the bottom, terrified (not knowing how to swim, and breathing water in panic)
I feel a strong push, this push is right under my feet, and all I remember from then on is being on the surface of water agian, upset, but alive.
I love the Fact that we are all so different, yet require the same Love
OUCH!
wow that is crazy! how did you get up after that?!
