God used Josiah...and still does today

I don't know about you, but the beginning of the school year can be a challenge!  Along with being a teacher, I am a mom to 3 kids.  It has been a HUGE challenge for me to make sure all three kids are ready for school, lunches packed, and homework done, not to mention the extra-curricular activities!  Whew!  Oh yeah, and that darn laundry!  Ugghh!  You all know what I am talking about!
I've found so much joy in being back in the classroom.  This past week our class talked about the story of Josiah, how he was king at 8 years old, and by around 26, commanded that the temple be repaired.  Upon repairing the temple, the neglected Book of God was found.  It was read to Josiah and he tore his clothes in sorrow over the sin he had committed.  He became humble and repented of those sins and became totally devoted to God.  So, through it all, Josiah had faith and followed God.  That's really what it comes down to...following God THROUGH IT ALL...the start of the school year, the stressful nights of homework, the joys in watching our children play sports, oh yeah, and that darn laundry!  Without God, none of it is possible!  No matter what we are going through, HIS WORD is our tool in helping us get through it!  I am so blessed to be teaching your child!  I know I keep saying it, but it's so very true!  I'm blessed to be able to share the Word of God with them.  Don't let the Bible sit on your shelf being neglected.  Share it with someone who needs it!
Here's the fun VIDEO I shared with your children about Josiah this past week.
