God is taking us deeper…
Cambri was so excited to show me this rock she painted - PURE JOY! Kinda looks like Arkansas, doesn’t it? Hmmm…is she prophetic?
We’re coming down off of a week filled with gifts, breakfast treats, lunches, and more sweets than we could handle, for Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so full of thankfulness and gratitude to our families, the businesses, and all of the parent and friend volunteers who collected donations and cash, shopped, placed orders, picked up and delivered items for our entire staff this week! You filled our hearts to the top!! We feel valued and energized! Thank you.
God is taking us DEEPER…I feel like we’re on the precipice of something even bigger than what we’re doing right now. It feels like an Esther moment - for such a time as this. I have been overwhelmed to tears over the past couple of days and have been humbled by the goodness of God. Our praise is all He desires! The Bible reminds us to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God, THEN all these things will be added to us. Pray for our staff as we finish this year and prepare for over 100 kids next Fall with seven new teachers, SEEKING FIRST the Kingdom of God. We seek him through our praise, in all it’s forms, and give HIM the glory for what He’s doing at Joshua Academy!
