All things are possible

Week 12
Outdoor education.
Some staff may say that it is exhausting, chaotic, and stressful when those buses unload 150 5th graders.
And they're right.
Aside from keeping everyone safe and having fun, we want to make sure they learn something.
And they always do.
I love it. I love watching their eyes widen as they walk up to the high ropes course. Or watching them back away from the platform at the zipline in fear... all to discover that with a little determination, hard work, and trust they can do it.
And they will love it... and probably want to do it again!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5)
"...with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26)
Don't ever let your doubting expectations keep you from trying, believing, or trusting.
There's nothing better than watching a kid accomplish something they would have never dreamed possible.
All things are possible.
Simple as that.
