Let me first start off by saying school is a learning process. Every morning you get up and you never know what that day of school is going to bring. Some days of school are exciting and you can't wait to go to school! But..some kids just dread this next year...for some walking through those school doors is just flat out scary! Maybe there is a brand new kid who just needs a friend. Will you be bold and ask the new kid to join your group of friends or not? What will happen if you decline the chance to take someone new into the group of friends you have made this new school year? It doesn't matter what grade you are going into..making friends and allowing new people into your circle of friends isn't easy. But think about it...you don't know what has been going on in that new kids life. He maybe moved because he lost his house to a fire or his father lost his job and they had to move to another town and get enrolled into a different school or something else. For some kids school learning is also a challenge and then also fitting in is also a difficult thing. So take a chance and get to know someone new this school year! Or be bold and go out of your comfort zone and eat lunch with the kid who is sitting all by himself. If your in high school talk to the new kids who are in your high school! My challenge to all you students is be bold. Don't just stay hidden in your own little groups go out and meet new people and share the love of Christ just like He did for you! I want this to be a memorable school year for all you students. I pray you all have another blessed school year! I pray Gods blessing over all the students who will be going into elementary school, Junior high, High school and even college! God has great plans for you! He knows the plans He has for you this school year! He knows whats going to happen everyday throughout this school year before it even happens! Trust Him and He will guide you! I know all you students and teachers as well will have another great year! You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength! I am going to wrap up this blog with a bible verse...this verse comes from Philippians 4:6-7 Starting a new school year is nerve racking and anxiety producing but one of the bible verses that I held onto throughout the school year is this one and it says Do not be anxious about anything; instead,pray about EVERYTHING. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all he has done. Then you will experience Gods peace,which surpasses all understanding His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus!
Let me just write a quick prayer right now for all you students and teachers who are preparing for this year!
Will you pray with me?
Dear Almighty Father, I come before you and ask that all the students who are going into this next school year have a great and fun year! Father some kids out there are just anxious for this school year and I ask that you wrap your loving arms around them and give them the peace that surpasses understanding! Father I also ask that you guide the teachers so that they may help these children learn what they need to know to be a great success in this world! Father you don't make failures you only create succeeders. Father I ask that you guide this next school year as you know what is going to happen everyday throughout this year before it even happens! God blesses the schools,bless the teachers and the faculty. We know we can do ALL things through Christ who gives us strength! Help all students to trust you and seek after you! Help them to be a light and show love to those around them in there schools,in their classrooms and in their homes. Father I pray this in your Mighty name, Amen!
Blessings to all
