Some thoughts about school…

In two days, we will embark on yet another school year…

8th grade … 6th grade … 4th grade …

Time is going so fast and they are growing up so fast…

Prayers have been said all summer …

for good teachers…for friends who are positive influences…for opportunities to let lights shine…for wisdom…for spiritual growth

Today we met two teachers …

And we saw class lists full of familiar names …

And we’re hopeful …

We feel peace in knowing that our God is bigger than our fears and anxieties about the newness of another year …

And we look forward to …

… learning new things … embracing new challenges … welcoming new friends into our lives …

And seeing what God has for us this year.
