Full-Time Student...by God's Grace

God provides what you need at the right time. I went to enroll as a full-time student today and when I expressed a little worry about it, my advisor, Tanisha Billingslea, said "I can do all things." She didn't have to finish the phrase. I knew it. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I replied, "If it's His will anyway. Sometimes I'm scared I'm just doing this all on my own." She reminded me that in those times of fear is when He shows us His greatest grace. I enrolled and came away with a little more peace.

I've been amazed, and comforted, by the many students in my classes that profess to be Christians. In so many of our classes we end up doing some sort of "All About Me" project/poster near the beginning of class and the majority of them mention that the student is a Christian. They may be able to keep public prayer out of schools, but they can't keep Christ out of the school.

VBS Family Night

We had an amusement park atmosphere for family night of VBS. First the kids sang a few songs from VBS and then Brother Bob presented the gospel to the parents. Then we headed in for inflatables, balloon creatures, face painting, crafts, cotton candy, popcorn, and pickles! The girls had a blast. They missed the pony rides, but were grateful that the ponies stayed home and didn't get drenched in the total downpour right before the event! Practicing while waiting on the other kids to arrive. A - Admit to God that you're a sinner and repent. B - Believe that Jesus is God's own son. C - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. It's the ride of your life when you dare to believe in Jesus Christ!!

Vocabulary Words

After report cards came back, we realized that it might be a good idea to study for the vocabulary test instead of just the spelling words. Now we're snapping a picture on Wednesdays of the vocabulary and taking pre-test on it too. Just making sure we can read the definitions is helping a lot. Seeing lots more 100s on the test now.

Traveling

I'm amazed at how much we drive. I took this picture leaving school today. Wasn't it just a year or two ago that I took the picture of the odometer at 12345? We actually travel less than we used to. Monday and Tuesday is normally just to Elgin and back home. Wednesdays have us driving to school, Lawton, and then to home. The same thing happens on Thursday for gymnastics, piano, and dance. On Friday we just go to school and back home. Then on Sunday we go to church in Lawton. To some people that is a lot of driving. It doesn't really seem like it to me. But I guess the odometer doesn't lie.
