I was thinking of this time of year and how it is the time that all of the students go back to school. Summer seems to have passed very quickly this year and I hope all the kids going back have had a restful time along with looking forward to the future school year. I know as a kid I did not always look forward to going back to school but I just wanted to encourage you in this time of your life as you grow. I had to think of the verse in Timothy 4:12, "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." Don’t underestimate the impact that you have on others. Be the light in the darkness for those around you and I will be praying for you as you continue to grow and shape your lives!
