School starts in one more week!

We found out yesterday that school starts for our children on the 11th.  We thought it was the 6th but for some reason it isn't until next week.  We got our hopes up only to have to wait another week.  I don't know about the boys but the adults here are excited for school to start.  Maybe we will have a little quiet time in the mornings.  Right now there is noise from daylight until way after dark. 

Starting Monday we will go on our school schedule, which means that the boys will get up at 6 a.m.  and go to bed at 8 p.m.  No movies until Friday night. 

Grace Christian School was founded by Keith Lashbrook and is run by Pastor Andy, who oversees Lashbrook Family Ministry.  There will be approximately 300 students attending.  This includes the children of Grace Chapel, the children in the neighborhood who can't afford to go to another school and the children in Lashbrook Family Ministry.

Today, which is Saturday, there was a prayer, praise and worship service at the church to pray for the children who will be attending the school this year.  It was amazing.  2 1/2 hrs. of prayer and singing and praising.  The church was full of children and some adults worshipping the Lord.  What a great time of honoring our Father.  It is so nice not to have a time limit on our worship here.  I think it should be that way everywhere!

Our boys here still need socks, shoes and backpacks for school.  We are trusting the Lord to provide all that is needed.  There is also a financial need.  As you probably can imagine it is not cheap to send all these children to school, but we know that the Lord has it all worked out.  It is exciting to see how He will supply.

This has been a great day.  Good news from my son, who had outpatient surgery and ended up in the hospital for 2 days afterward.  He is much better now and at home.  Praise the Lord for answering our prayers there. 

As I am writing this I am looking out over the sea and there is a magnificent double rainbow.  It goes from one side of the island, across the sea to the other island.  There is no artist greater than our Father. 

Hmmm... I just read the story of Noah and the ark last night to the little boys....Our God is Awesome.
