Acts 4:24-31
V1
We were praying for the safety of our friends
We were praying for security of our brothers
But Lord, You always knew the plan
And we now recognize we are here for all others
C1
Sovereign Lord! You made the heaven, earth, sea and everything
Your Holy Spirit dwelled in the heart of David
Who spoke Your plan long before its happening
V2
We praise you Sovereign Lord
You have known the plan for all the ages
If we only took the time to understand
All our trials we have faced were all part of the plan
C1
Sovereign Lord! You made the heaven, earth, sea and everything
Your Holy Spirit dwelled in the heart of David
Who spoke Your plan long before its happening
B1
You already knew the rage in the nations
You also knew the kings' wage against the Anointed One
You knew that all this must happen
Because without this plan, we would not see Your grace, through our Lord
V3
Now that we understand Your Sovereignty
We ask for your blessing, and if not a blessing, we will understand
Enable us, Your servants, to speak Your Word with great boldness
So that Your world will also see the plan
C1
Sovereign Lord! You made the heaven, earth, sea and everything
Your Holy Spirit dwelled in the heart of David
Who spoke Your plan long before its happening

And So This is Summer
Because the school in which I teach starts early in August, we have officially ended the school year. I can honestly say that for the most part, I had a good year. If I could cut out the adult drama, I would say it was a great year. Most every teacher I know who can be on summer break are doing just that but for me, I don't know what to do without being around school situations, so I am doing summer school.
I feel very lucky that I have this position with only 3 students and computer generated programs that I can easily monitor. The thing is, the three that are in summer school with me I have taught before and although all can do things when they want to do, it is a matter of getting them focused to staying on task and praising them when things are working in their favor and assisting them with the learning necessary to understand aspects of the content which will enable them to be successful and come out with a grade they are proud of earning rather than just being passed.
I wish I could have this kind of intensely focused small groupings during the school year. Unfortunately, budget and student numbers do not always lend itself to this more intensely monitored group. Summer school is 20 days so I will still have the entire month of July - so there in lies my concern. I have nothing planned which means I would just do nothing. I need to get an idea of what I want to do.
