School Testing ...

There are 18 school days left!!! YAY!!! That means that we have been in school 155 days... instructional days that is, we have actually been here 157 days. We have spent the last 3 weeks testing our kiddos...yep 3 WEEKS...the state testing window opened on April 10th and it closes today... So we have tested every (school) day since then and it has been AWFUL!!! The kids have been under tremendous pressure and the teachers have been under tremendous pressure and the daily schedules and routines we have worked all year to cultivate have been thrown out the window.. I am so ready for tomorrow and the 17 days that follow that I want to the happy dance! 

It is written: “As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.” Romans 14:11

As I think about my prayer for Ryan today, I think that this verse is appropriate. Isn't this what missionaries do? They are out sharing the gospel, sharing and showing God's love so that every knee will bow and every tongue will know that Jesus Christ is Lord. They are taking the word of God to the many.  So today I will pray that they are able to reach many and that they many they reach have a heart that is ready to accept the message of God's love and salvation.
