This has been a crazy year for us at school, but we have persevered! From a hurricane, snow, flooding, and the swine flu, we have managed to make it through the year with smiles, laughter, and a strengthened bond of friendship. I found a quote that sums it all up . . .
“God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.” ~ Author Unknown
God has definitely given us strength, comfort, and lighted our way. We have so much to be thankful for! Having these verses handy has been so helpful, though I still struggle with some of them, I have relied on them in stressful times and God has used them to work in heart!
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men,

Good reminder that we serve for the Lord, not to impress others.

Rejoice that we serve an awesome God and can lean on Him for all our needs!
