Only a Few Days Left

This time of year always brings such mixed emotions. Doing what we do means lots of good-byes. It is hard on all of us but especially the kids. This is the last week of regular classes and then next week starts final exams. Thursday, May 26th, is a half-day and then Graduation is that evening. We leave Sentani on May 28th. Between now and then is a vast assortment of events and activities. 
Tonight is the Choir concert and the Band concert. Friday is a staff dinner. Saturday is the 8th grade Celebration Banquet. Sunday is Baccalaureate service.  Tuesday is a Mom's of Seniors event. Wednesday is a Parents and Seniors dinner,Thursday is Graduation, and we leave Saturday morning. Last Saturday was the Junior/Senior banquet and I will attach pictures of that at the end.
Whew! When we have schedules like this I tend to cherish the quiet moments, like I have right now. Cale and I were just reading this morning a verse in Zephaniah 3:17. It is talking about God: the creator of the universe, the One who holds the stars in His hands, who breathed life into man. That same God, it says, "He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing!"
I love reading that verse. I love that thoughts of me bring Him joy, so much joy that He wants to sing! How cool is that!
God is so good. And we feel royally blessed. Please keep us in your prayers these next few days. Pray for good health. Pray for safe travels, and great together time as a family.
Thanks.
Rachel
