SPOTLIGHT ON OUR SCHOOL
Blue Bag Project for recycling cans and bottles will continue through the summer. Thank you for your support this past school year and we look forward to helping students get a Christian Education next year.
A man found a butterfly cocoon. One day a small opening appeared in the cocoon. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could go.
So, the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the small opening in the cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly.
“Dear brothers and sisters, when trouble come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” James 1: 2-4

Eight Promises of God to count on in Crisis
One: He is working all for our good. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
Two: He will complete his work. “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6
Three: He carries us. “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” Psalm 68:19
Four: He strengthens us. “But those who hope inb the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31
Five: His grace is sufficient for us. “So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:12
Six: His goodness is satisfying. “I will surely the priests with abundance and my people will be filled with my bounty,” declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 31:14
Seven: He will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability. “No temptation has overtaken you except what is
Common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13
Eight: He gives us rest. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
