But this is her passion. I, of course, being the sinner that I am, shake a little with anxiety. Why that one? Well, You are teaching me what it was like for You to release Your Son into a very dangerous world--and You and He knew the ultimate outcome, which would be His death.
First, then, let me thank You for providing for her. She has a job, and a pretty decent one. She also has a great principal to work for. This experience will undoubtedly be a very profound one for her.
Secondly, let me intercede for her and for all the staff and students at that school. Please keep them ALL safe in a treacherous neighborhood. Those of us in the safe comfort of suburbia have no idea how draining it is to live in such a place. Surround that school, and each of the brave people who works there, with a protective bubble, an armor if You will, and a whole fleet of angels to guard them better even than the officers who are assigned there.
Thirdly, let me partner with Julie and the school in prayer to change these young lives. Your heart beats, and has always beat, for people. You "so loved the world" one person at a time, and I know I need to keep that in the front of my mind. It is all about You and all about the one that You wish to reach to bring into the fold of Your family, Your kingdom.
Again, thank You. And may You get glory and may Jesus be exalted and may the Holy Spirit do wonderful and miraculous things at Strawberry Mansion over the next two years. Amen--and Amen~!
