Jesus be my anchor

This past week was very interesting. In a good way and a bad way. We started the week off well talking about Noah and the ark and what Genesis 3 means to Noah. On tuesday our classroom had a little bit with someone drawing on a desk. I had to become a strict teacher and had to cut out fun for a little while. We have been learning also about God's promises. My schedule has been switch again, which is okay if I can help someone else have a little better day I am okay with that. Today at church the youth had the worship and they talked about their youth trip. Some students gave their testimonies and it was really encouraging to the other teachers that I was with because it gave us something to see the impact that we have on these students and that their testimonies are going to be used in marvelous ways. A song we sang today was really amazing and I wanted to put it on here.

I stand by your throne,

I lay down all my thoughts

(dreams) at your feet

your blood washes me

you came you gave it all away

I magnify your holy name

Jesus Anchor of my soul

I worship you forever

I stand before your throne

cover me with your sweet fragrance

anchor me with your faithfulness

hold me in your peace

ruin me, ruin me, ruin me, ruin me for anything else.

I can only hope this is my prayer.

This week I learned that I need to constantly be in prayer for these students, they come to school with a lot on their minds. Am I being compassionate and ready to be patient with them even though I may not know their backgrounds and what is going in their lives. Pray that I may be Christ for those students that don't know Him, pray that I have patience with those who defy me and question me. Pray I keep the joy of the Lord during the whole day of school.
