Sugar and Spice...


If the saying is true, then my class is all sugar, spice, and everything nice this year! Yes, all five of them are girls!
We have spent the last two weeks getting off to a wonderful start! These young ladies have been wonderful and I am looking forward to a really fantastic year!
Please pray for us as we build community in our classroom, work hard, explore and learn about the world God created, and grow in our relationships with Jesus. Our school theme this year is "Unity Throughout". Pray for us as we discover what unity is in new ways this year, and as we seek to glorify God with one heart and one mouth as it says in our theme verse in Romans 15:5-6.
I am so thankful for the once in a lifetime opportunity this year to love and work with these young ladies. God has uniquely and purposefully gifted each of them in special ways. It is my joy to help them continue to establish their identity as children of God! Girls face such unique challenges and pressures in today's world. It is my prayer that this year we will build a solid spiritual, emotional, and academic foundation from which these ladies will grow and develop into beautiful women of God ready to serve Him where ever He calls them!
We have serious goals this year, but we are having a really fun time reaching them! We often have to stop ourselves from going "off on a rabbit trail" with "girl talk"!! It is a good thing there are no boys, they wouldn't get a word in edgewise with all these girls around!
