It was great getting the school year off and running this morning. It was great to see the students' faces in the building and get reacquainted with them after the long summer break! It is good to work with other staff members here at Western, but to be honest, it's working with high school kids that makes this job as much fun as it is. And to see their faces again after the summer hiatus was a treat!
I'm truly looking forward to a new, fun and engaging year this year at Western. There are so many new and exciting things going on here. But the faces of the kids ramped up the excitement for me that much more.
I'm guessing that's how God feels about us as well. When he created us, I'm sure he was excited when he saw our faces because he saw a reflection of Himself. That too is part of why working in a school like Western Christian is fun. We have the opportunity to mold lives-- image-bearers of God-- in a way that pleases Him. It's an important task. One that has some weighty responsibility. But don't kid yourselves. It's also fun and a joy to serve these students.
May God bless us all as we start a new school year!
