Up and down

I want to start with – God is good – all the time!!! He’s been with me and sustaining me…

My emotions have been very up and down since starting the last quarter here at Faith Academy. I’ve heard that’s what comes with transition. But usually my emotions don’t affect me this much. I feel very weary – emotionally, physically, mentally. Lots of little things since January have been adding up. And sometimes just teaching a bunch of Kindergartners alone will make you weary. I haven’t been sleeping well and that makes it worse. I don’t want to sound too down for this post (though I am a little down), so I’ll let you know about the fun day we had today!

Today as a Elementary we celebrated International Children’s Book day (in honor of Hans Christian Anderson’s birthday – he was the father head figure of children’s books). Everyone in Elementary dressed up as a storybook character. I chose to dress up as Fancy Nancy. We all gathered in the library to read continuously for 2009 seconds to celebrate the day. We also were celebrating the fact that as an Elementary, we had read over 500 thousand minutes thus earning 2 library sets to give away to 2 different smaller Christian Filipino schools. Yay Faith Academy students!!!

Below I have prayer requests and pictures, but I don’t want to miss the opportunity to share one of my favorite verses I read recently as I was studying the 3-person God and His character:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all” (2 Chorinthians 13:14).

It’s great that since we have a 3-person God, we can experience His love in our life in so many ways!!! The LORD God chose us, chose me to do His work, and He is my help and shield. My heart rejoices in HIM and I trust in His Holy name (Ps. 33)!!!!

God bless,

Betsy

Prayer Requests:

- that God will give me the strength to finish this quarter strong (because I certainly can’t do it on my own strength)

- that I will be trusting the Lord and leaning on Him in the midst of the transition time coming up

- that God will continue to provide the financial means (through supporters) that I need
