Anyone
else sick of the news these days? National news, local news, even the
sports world...it doesn't matter. It's all pretty discouraging, in my
opinion. Our nation is so divided and
there are so many people here in the U.S. and around the world who are
hurting. Well, my post today is short
but oh so sweet and will hopefully bring hope to those of you taking the time
to read. On Wednesday, September 27
students all over the country, including several hundred here in Loudoun
County, participated in See You at the Pole.
This is a national day of prayer for our schools and we were so blessed
to see students at almost every middle and high school in the county join
in. How much hope does this give you? In the midst of a culture and generation obsessed with self, these TEENAGERS willingly WOKE UP EARLY to pray for their teachers, classmates, and schools. They prayed against depression, suicide, and addiction. They prayed for courage to be bold and share the hope of Jesus Christ on their campuses. I'm not sure about you, but this definitely gets me excited!
I
attended SYATP at the brand new Brambleton Middle School yesterday. We had a small group of girls gather for it
but I know that God is already on the move at that school. Throughout the morning, texts and emails were
coming in from teacher and parent FCA volunteers sharing the pictures of the
gathering at their schools. Facebook and Instagram were also full of posts from
FCA teammates all over Virginia who got to be a part of this year’s SYATP in
their areas. What a blessing! Friends, our God is BIG, He’s sovereign, and
despite the way it may appear at times, He is still very much present in our
public schools. All glory to Him!
