Starting Off the New Year Right
The beginning of every school year often brings a lot of different emotions. For students, teachers, and parents alike, it brings the feelings of excitement for what is ahead, anticipation for new adventures, nerves of the unexpected curveballs that you are bound to face, fear of failure, stress about the deadlines and amount of work, and confidence that it will be the best year yet. All these emotions – both positive and negative – are natural, normal, and to be expected, and are healthy to experience. They keep you sharp, alert, and ready for whatever life throws at you. The best part of all of this, is we know and serve a God who brings these moments and emotions to us. So, this year, be thankful to God when life is going great, and you are achieving at a high level, but also, remember that God is with you when life gets hard, you become overwhelmed, and you feel like giving up. One of my favorite verses during school was 1 Corinthians 10:13 from the GNT version, which says: “Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will now allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.” So, stay firm, stay connected to your faith, and stay connected to our community! We are here for you and cheering you on this year!
