The days are packed. :) There have been some very special moments over the past several weeks, and there have been some moments of discouragement and frustration. God is teaching me and convicting me all the time, and I can see God's hand at work in our school. Our students are asking questions. I am praying that God will give them clarity. For those who know Christ, I am praying for confidence in their salvation, the conviction that God is worthy, that they will have faith that leads them to obedience, and that they will know God for who he truly is. For those who do not know Christ, I am praying that God will answer their questions, that they also will see God for who he truly is, and that as a result they will be drawn to worship and trust the Majesty in heaven. I know it is God who gives the growth, and that even though we are broken people, he works through our weaknesses. In our weakness, he is strong. When we sin, when we fail, his grace is shown in our lives as we turn to trust in him.
Please pray for me that I will have quality time to spend with God, that I will continue to depend on him and have an eternal vision in full view, that God will maximize my time, and that I will be able to juggle the many tasks on my to-do list. Also, please continue to pray for my students. Pray that their eyes will be opened and that they will see who God is and that they will run to him. Pray for our 8th grade class that they will not feel the need to rebel, and that they will learn self-control. Pray that they will find joy in doing good and not trying to be bad. Please pray for our staff to be healthy, unified, and energized.
We're more than halfway to Christmas!
