March 14th: "Here Am I, Send Me" – Trusting God’s Big Plans | Carpooling with Jesus

Hey friends! 🚗✨ Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus! Whether you’re in the car, having breakfast, or winding down for bed, I’m so glad you’re here. Today, we’re diving into a powerful story from the book of Isaiah—a story about saying YES to God, even when it feels big and scary.

💡 Today’s Bible Verse:
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’" – Isaiah 6:8

🔥 Episode Highlights:

• Isaiah was a prophet chosen by God to share His messages with people.
• One day, Isaiah had a vision of God on His throne, surrounded by angels. It was so incredible that Isaiah realized how small and imperfect he was.
• But when God asked, “Who will go for us?”, Isaiah didn’t hesitate—he said, “Here am I, send me!”
• Isaiah wasn’t the biggest, strongest, or smartest, but he trusted God and followed His call.
• Jesus loves when we have a willing heart to say YES to God’s plans!

🙌 Jesus’ Encouragement:
If Jesus were sitting next to you, He might say:
"I love when you’re willing to say yes to what God asks you to do. You don’t have to be the biggest, strongest, or smartest—just trust in me, and I will help you. When you say, ‘Here am I, send me,’ you are showing great faith, and I will always be right beside you."

📖 Real-Life Connection:
Imagine your teacher asks for a volunteer to read aloud in class. Your heart pounds, and you want to raise your hand—but what if you mess up? That’s how I felt as a kid (and sometimes still do!).

One day, I remembered Isaiah’s story. Instead of looking away, I took a deep breath, raised my hand, and read. I stumbled on a few words, but I did it! My teacher was proud, and so was my mom. I learned that saying YES to something scary can lead to something amazing.

💡 What About You?
Is there something God is asking you to do? Maybe helping a friend, being kind to someone new, or standing up for what’s right?

🙏 Friday Prayer:
"God, thank You for this week. Help us finish strong and bless our weekend with joy and rest. Amen."

💭 Family Discussion Question:
What is one thing you can say YES to this week that will honor God?
