Square peg in a round hole: the Sunday school dilemma

The past two years I have been at Victoria Drive Gospel Hall, I have tried my hand at teaching Sunday school--although I have always felt that teaching was never my strength (or gift). After a couple challenging chats with my housemate and an older mentor, I have decided to pull myself out of the Sunday school scene, at least for this year as I re-examine my motives, strengths, and goals. This was a hard decision because our Sunday school has many children, and teachers are particularily in want this year. I guess I wondered if a not-so-great Sunday school teacher was better than none at all, but the reply came, I cannot force a square peg in a round hole, and if my motivations are not pure (ie out of obligation) I may be sucked of the joy of living for Christ. My next step is to find ways to use what I do feel are my giftings within the church. I am looking forward to what the Lord has in store for me in this coming school year.
