"But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him." - Psalm 37:39-40
I cannot begin to tell you how busy things have been in the past couple of weeks. In addition to my full-time teaching duties, I was also full-time principal while ours was out sick, and full-time housemom while the regular houseparents were in the U.S. We have had a serious virus going around the ranch, so that we had to close school last Tuesday because almost our entire primary grades teaching staff was out sick. I was blessed by the people who stepped in as subs so that we could re-open the school next day.
Also, as many of you already know, I will be taking on the role of interim principal beginning in June. The ministry is planning on me taking on more and more and my principal stepping back. As this is happening, I am already beginning to deal with issues and difficulties. While it has been challenging, I praise God for His "strength in the time of trouble." As difficult situations arise, I know I can trust in God.
Today we had our school's Festival of the Arts. Each student had to choose an art form to display their talents. We had presentations of dance, music, and art that just wowed me. My roommate Jessi, a lifelong ballet dancer, put together an awesome dance with some of the girls. My music class did a handbell presentation of Amazing Grace. There were lots of beautiful paintings and drawings. The kids here at the ranch are really talented.
As I get back into my normal routine again, I will try to write more often. Again, this is not a promise!
