“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are” Theodore Roosevelt.
Life has various struggles and challenges but they only come for a season. There is always a beginning and an end. In whatever state you are right now, simply do what you can with the resources you have and inspire the people where you’re at. Keep moving forward... let go and let God! That is the only way to be hopeful and be excited for the future!
​
As part of the Precious belief that education is achieved through holistic formation... we created this monthly encouragement segment because we DESIRE to INSPIRE!
NEW BEGINNING
AUGUST: BLANK PAGES, NEW SPACES
​​
Blank pages provide space for new ideas, drawings, words, thoughts, and feelings to be expressed visually. Imagine this academic year as a blank page. You have the pencil in hand, wanting to see a perfect image and story, but not knowing where to start or how it will come together. You have the choice to try and try again, erase when needed, but also a choice to rely on the Author and Creator to guide your hand.
What words and images do you want to see by the end of the year? And are you trying to do it alone or would you like some help?
Reflective Reminder: Value the beginning of new seasons that allow space for you to reflect on the foundation you’re founded on, the legacy you want to build on, and the purposeful life you want to strive for.
“Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.” Proverbs 3:3 NLT
OBEDIENCE​​
Ephesians 6:1-2 CEB “As for children, obey your parents in the Lord, because it is right. The commandment Honor your father and mother is the first one with a promise attached…”
​
Obedience often sounds like a limiting word, but it can also lead to freedom and fruitfulness in life. Obedience to parents comes with a promise (and don’t forget the following verse that reminds parents not to provoke their children too) but it takes a change of heart and teamwork to see the fruit. To our parents and learners, we hope that you can work together to build strength and a safe place for each other to land when life gets challenging.
In line with our vision and mission, this new program from the GCTC is here to enlighten, encourage, and empower the entire PISD family and community. We hope to inspire you by bringing messages of wisdom and hope to your screens. Since you are precious to God, and therefore precious to us, we believe that building each other up in this life is a must.
