I was reading through Colossians again this morning and the first part of Colossians talks about Jesus as our Lord. In chapter one, Paul explains in some length that he is praying for those Christians to both encourage and instruct them. At the beginning of each week, as a staff, we gather for staff devotions. We openly share scripture, thoughts, and concerns together and we place each week in the loving hands of our Heavenly Father. In our collective prayer we include specific families and students to lay their name before the throne of almighty God. We pray for each other as a community of faith should. As we read in Colossians 1, it is my hope that I would continually pray to ask God to fill each of our students with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And pray this in order that we may live a life worthy of the Lord and aim to please Him in every way because He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of light. Let us continue to pray for each other, the children in our care, and the spread of the gospel everywhere. ~ Mr. Bouwers
