Requests for God
I think God is reminding me how gracious He has been over the past months. We have had very little time without power and no time without water. Today, we have neither.
Tomorrow is the last day of school. Emily and I (and other teachers) have been reflecting on this year and these students and this school.
Next year, Mizpah will be losing 7 of their 10 teachers. This does not mean that God cannot provide; however, it does mean that He may not.
So I ask myself, was it worth it? Was worth it to spend a year and a half of my life attempting to teach apathetic students who want to sit around and do nothing anyway after high school?
And I think of the few… and all I can do is plead to God that He continues His work in their lives …and that He makes it worth it.

Katie, I have been sharing these and Emily's similiar thoughts with everyone I can so that our prayers will be multiplied. I know that God honors obedience and trust in Him yours and ours and I know that He is faithful all the time! loving and praying, mom

Dear Katie.....This is very real and very reflective . I pray that the Lord indeed makes it worth it in the lives of the students you have touched. I do think, from all that I have read of your blog this school year, it has been worth it for you because of the growing and transforming grace of God in your life. Ofcourse, HE is worth it!! Love, Laurie
