Quiet before the storm

Okay, so maybe not a storm... but it sure is quiet around here compared to days with our program in full swing. The picture above shows our new reading area background! We will have some fun beach chairs and blankets to add to it! After an incredibly fun and busy July, our staff was able to take a sabbath.  For me, that meant getting to go home and spend a lot of time staying home! In years past, I've tried to pack as much of Texas as possible into my visit.  This time, I was pretty content to hang out at home and spend time with my fam.  It was a much needed time of rest! Take a look at the gallery below to see some of our summer camp fun!  

This Monday, we had our official debrief of summer program and are ready to jump into fall! There will be some changes around G2 and we are all very excited about them! One of the changes I am most excited about is that I will be working with both G2 Kids and G.S.A.L.T. during out afters school program.  This summer gave us a great trial run and as you can see from the pictures above, they did so well together.  Our G.S.A.L.T. students (6th- 12th grade) did an amazing job of working with our G2 Kids (1st-5th grade).  I look forward to seeing them continue to pour into them this school year! The plan is to enroll 15 G2 Kids and 10 G.S.A.L.T. students.  Please pray for our families as they enroll their students.  For the next couple of weeks, our staff will be preparing for the start of our fall programs.  In addition to after school, we have a new ESL class beginning soon.  Please pray for Kerri as she leads that class. There have been several individuals come to sign up and are very excited about the class.  By meeting this great need, the door is opened for these individuals to see and hear the Gospel! 

As I shared in a previous post, I am in the process of being certified to be a foster mom! I began classes in June, but had to put them on pause for July and August.  The goal is to complete the classes in October.  Please pray for the Lord's guidance in this process.  I know that He has a plan and it is perfect!
