In a little meeting tonight on teaching, it was pointed out that we need to let the Spirit guide us rather than try to do it ourselves. Letting the Spirit guide means to me not necessarily knowing ahead of time what I will say but that it will be given in the very moment what to say. That takes a lot of trust. When I am comfortable in a conversation, that is what happens. I certainly don’t plan ahead what I’m going to say to my daughters when they call me, it just comes out. I would love to be able to teach that way!
It’s bedtime and I don’t even feel the need to really finish this post. However, I am going to post it anyway!

What an excellent post on letting the spirit guide you. When your lessons and your speech are focused in the center of a subject, just like the center of a bicycle wheel with many spokes, the spirit can guide each reader, listener, down the spoke that is needed for that particular individual. Too many people try to self-direct and end up chasing a topic down the wrong spoke, one that isn’t relevant to the audience.
