GOD IS STILL THE SAME
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23, NKJV I think it is safe to say that this school year, just like every other year, has not been predictable. Like always, there have been a lot of twists, turns, […]
ORDERED BY THE LORD
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Psalm 37:23, NKJV Every morning, teachers face another day full of interruptions.

ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me […]
FAITHFUL TO ALL GENERATIONS
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5, NIV The truth is God doesn’t need our help.
