Here are the steps:

A New School Year is About to Start

Last night I went to bed with a verse on my heart, and this morning I woke up to it again. In my 1 Year ESV Bible I am reading in Nehemiah 6:9
But now O God, strengthen my hands.

As this school year starts my prayer is that God would just use me to love unconditionally to my students and everyone around me. Also this verse reminds me that I need to Let the LORD be in control and let him work through me. Life is hard to do it by yourself. So let the Lord Strengthen YOU!

Now this morning this verse jumped off the page into my heart:
Psalms 33:22
Let your Steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we HOPE in YOU!
No matter what circumstance is upon you, look to Christ, talk to him about the circumstance. But do not get bogged down with it, instead keep Praising God for the blessings he has given you! The more we press into God, the more we get to know him! He delights when we spend time with him and have a REAL, AUTHENTIC Relationship with him!

God Bless and Love,
Jenn
