Amazing Day

What an amazing day!  It all started this morning before school...well, actually it started yesterday afternoon.  I had a Bible study with the 5th grade girls (my old students that I love) and it was just amazing!  We had some amazing conversation and talked about some amazing challenges we were going to try to accomplish as a group.  Then we come to this morning...those same girls just make me smile!  Every morning they cheer me up and get me ready for the day.

After school, Ethan and I went on a little journey to a small orphanage close to home.  It is called the Creche.  The children are just amazing!  We took chalk along with us and you can imagine what 15 brown little children playing with chalk looked like when we were done...it was AMAZING!  They helped me with my creole and I helped them with their english and we laughed and played.  Ethan enjoyed himself so much he tried to hide from me when it was time to leave.

Then just a few minutes ago during our prayer time Cameron said an amazing prayer!  He recited our science lesson from class today-thanking God for molecules, oxygen and other gases, water....and much much more.  Say it with me..."It was Amazing!"

God is so AMAZING!  He constantly gives us reasons to smile!  He adds "little" things to our day to make it an amazing day!  Oh, how He loves us!

Prayers From Children

These are a few prayes from my fourth graders that made me smile...they have such simple faith and it challenges me.  I can just imagine God smiling as he heard these!  I pray you will too! (I am typing them exactly as they wrote them)
