Prayer Request

Please pray for our school, staff/faculty. We are under severe spiritual attack right now. I don't know why it is rising right now. However, a lot is/is about to happen. Please pray for us. Thanks and God bless.

One of my favorite hymns

Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

Powerful words and a great comfort to dwell on. May God bless your week!

Rest....the Lord is near.


..."For now we see in a mirror darkly, but then we shall see face to face". I know this doesn't make sense as a beginning statement, but I promise to explain. We have a 4 day weekend thanks to Ghana being independent. What better thing to do than to go to the beach?! So, a group of teachers went. It was so much fun. I did my quiet time out on the rocks yesterday morning where I saw this (above photo).

I saw it happen several times and was captivated every single time. As I continued to read, sing and watch, I thought how spectacular my God is. The Atlantic Ocean is powerful much more so than the Gulf of Mexico or the East Atlantic coast in America. God is powerful....yes an understatement. Yet, in all his power and greatness, He cares about me. He gives me these opportunities to see his power and reminds me through it that He is a God of detail and care. He desires an intimate relationship with me.

I am also seeing this through my reading of the One Year Bible. We are in Numbers right now. Most people steer clear of the first five books-the law books, but I love them. I think I have an idea of what David felt when he said "Oh how I love your law. I meditate on it day and night." I love the law! I love the detail, time and care God put into his people. What love! This is but a glimpse. "...then I shall see face to face." What will it be like to meet God who puts details, time and care into me?! Is it not exciting to think about?!! WOW!!
