God supplies our needs...

We are almost a month into school now and The Compass has been a lot of fun! It has been so neat to be able to meet the new families that have started this year. As I mentioned in previous posts, we have so many young kids this year, which has been quite an adjustment!

It has been interesting to figure out ways to keep the kindergartners occupied during homework time since they usually don't have homework. Last year one of the volunteers had given me a stack of worksheets that were perfect for kindergartners but I had no use for them and tucked them away. I came across them during the first week of school and it's been a great teaching tool for them this year! Praise God for how He supplies what we need just when we need it! I love how that works!

The new children have really adjusted well to The Compass schedule and are really fitting in well with the other children. The kids continue to ask good questions during our devotion time and sometimes I'm blown away by how they think. Especially when you share Bible stories like Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt! The kids also really enjoy watching Veggie Tales, which we sometimes watch for devotions on Fridays.

I've really been grateful for the different people who have stepped forward to volunteer this year. This will allow us to take on our full capacity of kids! Again I see how God supplies our needs. How awesome He is!

As I watch the kids and parents come and go each day I am so thankful for this ministry and the impact we can have on the children and their families. Please continue to pray for The Compass and let me know if you would like to volunteer!:)
