“What is one thing that 2016 has taught you?”
This is the question I’ve seen plastered on Facebook walls this week. It’s another reminder that 2016 is nearly over, and I can’t help but feel a bit relieved. This time last year we needed $20,000 to renovate Banunule Primary School as our very own Fixer Upper. We needed a school van. We needed to fill an entire team of teachers for the primary school campus ten minutes from our existing preschool campus. We inherited an already functioning school of 3rd through 7th grade classes. We blended two separate teams with wildly different ideas and ways of operating. We reached out to work with families from a new community. We jumped from coordinating a team of 10 to coordinating a team of over 25! So…what has 2016 taught me? I suppose it boils down to one lingering truth.
Nothing is impossible with God.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121
