2 cor 4:17-18For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Praying for my families (and mine) character not comfort.
Isaiah 26:3-4
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the lord forever, for the lord, the lord himself, is the Rock eternal.http://bible.us/Isa26.3.NIV
I worry so often. I have been looking for my blue notebook for over a week. I had it at the csdc Cbo class in April. While at a different training I had written interview questions for our teachers. I have looked high and low- AND dug through my yet to be unpacked suitcase numerous times- with no luck. I moved my office downstairs and thought maybe it was lost in the move- still couldn't find it. This morning, upon waking, I realized I was really out of coffee but don't really have time to run to the store. Wandered into the kitchen with a prayer on my heart. Lord, please show me where my blue notebook is. Father I need it today. After my quick prayer, I wandered back into the room to see if by chance I had another package of single serving coffee in my gym bag (which is next to my still packed suitcase). I glance down, and there with just a corner peeking through my now messed up clothes is the blue notebook! I have looked there at least once a day for a week! There was also one more pack of coffee!
If God answers these insignificant prayers, why do I always worry about bigger things? Like our grant, my ability, attacks on the school?

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the lord is kept safe. Provide 25:29
I worry often about hurting other people or disappointing them. Father I desire to fear only you. I know I need only to revere you. I don't need to fear your wrath. Lord Jesus thank you for loving me so completely. Go before us lord as we interview assistant principals, teachers , and other staff. Father give us wisdom. Speak to me through the small things. I believe you have put the idea for this culture in my mind and I ask that you create it. Lord I desire to lead as you did. I am at times amazed and then overwhelmed with all you have called me to do. Love people through me. The children, their families, the staff. Lord please let your love be evident in all that I do. Father I know I also need your strength to stand up when someone/something is wrong. I feel at times I am in a constant battle trying to keep the rutters moving in the right direction. As though I am on the rough waters of the sea, navigating towards your light, but the current is always pushing and pulling at the ruttier. If I don't hold tightly to the steering heel which is your word, our ship may end up on the rocks or worse- over turned. Thank you for your word.

New Study
Our study is doing the Battlefield of the mind...by Joyce Meyer. I didn't really want to do this book, thinking that I am so past "all of that" stuff. It only took the first chapter though to realize that I still fall into the temptation, often, of stinkin' thinking. You know how those thoughts go, "Does he really love me?", "Will he love me forever?", "Who do I think I am starting a school?", "There are so many more qualified people than me!" (there ARE! :) ) However.... God's word is true, and I have to believe it!
1 Cor 1:27 but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;28 and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, yea and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:29 that no flesh should glory before God.
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.
I can not start a school, on my own. But God can use me to do His will! Thank you Lord that YOU know the beginning and the end. I know that this is from you, as you put it on my heart years ago, and then have confirmed it over and over. Father, please go before us in the grant reading process and give us favor. Please go before us as we screen and interview teachers, and only bring those that you would have come.
