The BEST is coming.

Tomorrow starts a new quarter with many new faces, stories and a continuation of adventure with Jesus. We have been anticipating and praying for the arrival of these students and over the weekend as they have begun to arrive I get more and more excited. So far everyone I have met has been so much fun and ready for the schools to begin!
I made a bunch of apple crisp yesterday and it was so much fun to bring it for the early arrivals to enjoy. Many of them traveled from overseas and quite a few from Canada. Also one from Mexico. Often its nicer for our foreign students when they can arrive a day early to adjust to the time and get settled. Anyway, it's been fun-took a few of them to run some errands today and get things they still needed. We also took some of them to church.
Often the first week of the school is my least favorite just because there is so much talking and getting to know people. I would rather skip that week and just get on with it. But it is an important week nonetheless :-). But I think this time around it will be a lot of fun. I just have this anticipation in my heart. We have been talking and praying and come the consensus, why would not this be the BEST quarter we have ever seen? Lets go for it! I know God has so much in store for these students. He is so excited that they have chosen to take 5 months of their lives to specifically focus on Him and their relationship with Him. They could be doing so many other things, and yet here they are. Thank you Jesus  for letting us be a part of this season of their lives! You are so good!
