Can it be??? Already???

Tomorrow is the day of firsts for us... First day as a teacher at MISD's alternative school, Viola M. Coleman HS, First day as a SOPHOMORE for my Tori, and first day of the fifth grade for Brock. Time is just FLYING by with our kids. I am so proud of them and just love them beyond words. I am quite the blessed woman!

We are praying a few specifics for this school year for them:

• Pray that they will walk in the WISDOM of the Father.
• Pray that they will desire to walk with the Lord and love Him more every day.
• Pray that they will be loved and encouraged by teachers and friendships this year.
• Pray that they will excel to their personal 'bests' in education, sports,etc this year.
• Pray that they will lead and serve others by the example of Jesus.
• Pray that they will STAND in BOLDNESS where the Lord leads them and confidently face challenges with faith in Jesus.
• Pray for their health to be good and for them to be strong for the tasks the Lord calls them to.
• Pray that they will hear and obey Jesus daily.
• Pray that they will be grateful and know that they are blessed and that they will have compassion and generosity towards others.
• Pray that WE will be obedient to the Father so that we may be the kind of parents that HE wants us to be.
• Pray that we will all trust Jesus with our tomorrows.
• ETC........

Not a blogger....but here is the latest!

Well....I figured that, if I had to use this blog to comment on Susan's blog, I'd better update mine...Since it has been a year and a half! haha

We are leaving for CAMP tomorrow!  Keep us in your prayers!  Send emails to our students and to US!  Go to www.studentlife.com and click on "Find your student" at the bottom.  Then, look for Orange Beach, Alabama July 5-9 and send us emails!!!  We need them every day!

Pray for safety as we travel (17 hours of DRIVING not counting stops - on a bus and/or van with 70 students!).  Pray that the Lord's Word for us this week would fall on open and receptive hearts and that we would all be drawn to a closer relationship with our beautiful Jesus.  Pray for ppl to accept Christ and for our students to find unity and leadership.  We love these students SO much...they are now OUR kids.  This is when it is really good.  Takes about 2 years to really set the foundation.  We are seeing the fruits of God's work and it is such an amazing and exciting journey!  

Pray also for Susan - my sister in Christ and friend - who had breast cancer surgery Friday.  God is good.  He's got her right in the palm of his great big hand and is carrying her and healing her.  All glory to HIM!

Love to all of my sweet friends!
