Devotion

For the last few weeks, we have been preparing for our school concert. Some children have been feeling a mix of ‘like to have’ and ‘hard to have’ feelings and have at times found it a little overwhelming. We have been exploring what it means to be ‘brave’ and to try our best. The Year 2 Tew/Huxtable goal is to put our brave in front of any hard to have feelings and have a great time.

 

“Some days life feels overwhelming, and the path forward is not clear. It is tempting to stay stuck in the safe and familiar, even when the familiar is less than desirable. Being brave is hard work. Stepping out of our comfort zones, risking vulnerability, trying new things, pursuing our passions, and moving forward in spite of our fears often requires all the courage and resolve we can muster. In order to be successful, we would be wise to surround ourselves with those who name us brave and remind us we are meant for lives of risk and daring.

 

We are designed to be bold and adventurous, but sometimes we forget and need a reminder we don’t journey alone. Like the ship in the harbor, we are called to venture out to the wide-open seas for which we were created. The abundant life God promises requires us to trust him and lean on one another.”

 

We are very excited to share our performance with everyone in week 10. I know that I will be encouraging the Year 2's from the sidelines and I hope to see lots of familiar faces in the crowd.
