Sex Education?

I get lots of Jesus moments with my class, but today I was blessed with one while with the Fifth Graders.

Friday we were reading and learning about the sexual reproduction system of a flower. They would just giggle and say 'um' in place of the word sex when referring to the sex cell organs. This was a little different for me as well, but that is what you get when you are teaching from a public school curriculum instead of a Christian one. I let it go on Friday and I took out 'sex' and any other form of the word while reading or discussing.

During the weekend, I had a discussion that brought up sex. I was asked if I would consider wearing a Hanbuk, knowing it was unflattering and hard to get off. Are you kidding me, my answer was that I have waited long enough for the man God would bring into my life. He may have to work a little harder in order to win my heart, but I sure as heck am not gonna make it hard once he has and our wedding night arrives.

And then today, I read Noah's blog. I was encouraged and reminded of what a wonderful gift God has given us and what that gift is meant for. I know for me I love the man in my future so much already that it is a gift I truly only want to share with him and I am so glad I have held on to only for him.

Ok, with that said I will get back to science class with the fifth grade today. We were reviewing Friday's discussion and as they began to giggle again, I seized the moment to share how God created everything and it is good. We went and read all of Genesis 1. We discussed how God created life and that sexual reproduction was a part of what God created that was good. Of course, I did make sure I touched on purity in our discussion.

It was definitely a moment where we all meet the Risen Christ and saw how wonderful our Creator's Hand is. I know my heart smiled and was blessed in this moment. After all Life is truly a wonderful GIFT that God has given us all. What will you do with your gift today?
