School starts in 4 days!

Hi all,

We have been very busy getting ready for school to start up again. It is amazing watching how God puts all the talents together, sometimes in the 12th hour, but it gets done. We are praying for some teachers and staff who have been delayed for medical reasons, and some for financial reasons.

I wanted to share with you a conversation I overheard in the hall today as some of the students are arriving. It made my heart swell with pride for the amazing staff that cares for these students while they are away from their families....

3 boys in the hall... (1st boy) "Wow, it seems weird feeling so comfortable at school". (2nd boy) "yea I know, me too." (3rd boy)... I remember my first day here; I felt like I was going to throw up. (boys 1 and 2) "really?" (boy 3).. "yea; I had been home schooled all my life....." voices fade in the hall.

The thing about these students is that they make each other strong. They all have very different and complicated lives. They pull together and will build eternal relationships. I just wanted to take a moment to share a snippet of what you are part of in this ministry.

Love, Sheila
