It is that time of year where we see all the back-to-school pictures and we don’t want to be any different, but maybe for different reasons.\u00a0 We want to CELEBRATE that the kids are going back to school IN PERSON!\u00a0 It is a reason to celebrate!\u00a0 It has been a year and a half since our kids have been at their school.\u00a0 Simeon is starting 6th grade, Esther is starting 2nd grade and Ephraim is starting 1st grade!\u00a0 Yes, they will be masked, yes, they have bio-security measures as they enter school (alcohol on the hands and temperature taking before entry), double the amount of hand sanitizer but they are together and we celebrate it!\u00a0 All teachers are vaccinated!\u00a0 This is a big step here in Ecuador!\u00a0 Celebrate with us!<\/p>\n

We wanted to do something this year for our kids, praying verses over our kids each day as they go to school.\u00a0 Something we have seen in them is that the pandemic has created anxiety, fear and worry and we want to combat that.<\/p>\n

Simeon:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Philippians 4:6-76\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Don\u2019t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.\u00a07\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Then you will experience God\u2019s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n

Esther:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I AM KNOWN, LOVED, FORGIVEN, REDEEMED, CHOSEN, FREE, A CHILD OF GOD. \u2026See what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are\u20261 John 3:1<\/p>\n

Ephraim:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus looked at them and said,\u00a0\u201cWith man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.\u201d\u00a0 Matthew 19:26<\/p>\n
