Dear Friends and Family,
Well,
one month down. Everything is going
well…there is peace. I faced more
resistance to my coming than I thought I would; however, God has been teaching
me a lot through it. The main thing I
have been learning is to take it one day at a time. God gives me each day. I must do my utmost best that day so that if
I met him at the end of it, he would say “ well done, my good and faithful servant”. Therefore, I do my best NOT to look at the
semester as a whole but each day as all I have.
The school has been through a lot of turmoil; however, in the midst of
it, the staff has been strong and given a good witness. One teacher who came in new this year said “
I have never seen faith being lived out the way the staff does here”. So even though hard times have come, God is
faithful and hasn’t given us what we can’t handle.
The
children in my class are absolutely precious.
I have 14 total though typically have about 11-12 each day. We are still learning each other. They have
been used to NO discipline and now a drill sergeant has come. There are 2 Muslim children in the class, so
please pray that they will see a difference in me. For the past two weeks, Jean, the other
teacher, and I have been working together very well. We are more like a team, and I believe the
children are benefitting.
One
of the best things has been the Bible study that the women do together. We are
doing a Beth Moore study called “Believing God”. It is for such a time as this. WOW!! It has been an encouragement to all of
us.
Please pray for me that I will
continue to truly BELIEVE God and take one day at a time.
Thank you for your prayers and
support,
Meghann Harris
