SENIOR MOMENTS (with God): Women's Stories about Aging with God

In our last episode, we heard how God used a Tennessee Teacher named Teena to share the love of Jesus with her students. As a result, one student asked to know more about Jesus and invited Him into his life. Seventeen years later, Seth is still faithful. He has faced many trials, but Seth perseveres and points everyone he meets to Jesus. It has not been easy.

Through every twist and turn of life, however, Seth continues to believe God has called him to share the Good News just as Teena did all those years ago.

Listen to Seth's story about running the race with Jesus and give God the Glory.

She prayed the Prayer of Jabez: " Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted her request just like he did Jabez' in 1 Chronicles 4:10.

She was to leave the Christian school where she taught 2nd grade and teach in a public school's 2nd grade instead. At the same time, she was to share God's Word as He showed her the ways to do so. His love came through to each child, and especially to a child with cerebral palsy, Seth.

Listen to how God guided Teena through the year. Listen to how He guides Seth 17 years later as a result of that Tennessee Teacher responding to His call.

She never returned to that church.

Years later, however, she still feels the pull of that night as a child. She wants to know more, so much more about God and about Jesus, His son.
