Right now we are in such a beautiful season (spring into summer). It is also a beautiful season of life as we continue to learn in our classroom. When we learn English and also learn thing about the gifts from God that we find constantly are given to us, and a glimpse of the even more beautiful life that God has in store for us because we have placed our hope in Him for our future and final destination. It gives us a lot more to embrace as Christians.
Sometimes our lives area a little crazy especially around this time of the year. Kids are looking forward to getting out of school, gardening, sports and our daily chores along with our daily work away from home, but it is beautiful just the same. When you think about chaotic moments, we can actually realize that God allows this beautiful season to be among us. Yes even chaos. When we look through the craziness and see the goodness and blessing that He has given to us, then we can embrace it and harvest its meaning and serve God alongside of it. I don't know about you, but my house is full of life, I do enjoy the quiet moments that seem rare, but at times it seems so chaotic, then I think of the season, my family is around me, I have been so abundantly blessed. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to shar the English language and share my life experiences, yes even the chaotic ones. We laugh, cry, sing and pray together and this continues to give meaning to life and allows us to serve God in this season - one that continues to grow, blossom and mature till the harvesting season when God will take us to our Eternal reward.

Watch Your Language - December 2011
"The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3
Wow! It is hard to believe we are wrapping up yet another year. This is the second year that we have sponsored ESL learning within our walls here at Mt. Olivet. This has been a wonderful opportunity to make an eternal difference. I would love to take this opportunity to thank each one of you who have given such great verbal support to this program. I wish each of you could receive the blessing of seeing eyes sparkle and heads shaking, and verbal acknowledgement when the understanding becomes real and the word or lesson is understood. The laughing, the graciousness in ways that God has given each of us to understand in our minds, hear with our ears and feel in our hearts the understanding of communication. There are many ways in which humans communicate. This is truly a fascination area of psychology. I certainly have had such a joy in being a part of this. My goal in a few years will be for one of my students to be teaching the class. It can happen. I just pray every day that as we read and study scripture at the beginning of class that God will open the minds of understanding for the students, that not only will they learn English, but they will learn about Christ and the love that has been given for each one of us! My goal for 2012 will be to continue to be an effective outreach resource for our church, demonstrate Christ-honoring character and infuse each lesson with meaningful instruction while sharing the practical gift of love in Jesus' name! I hope your Christmas is filled with unending joys! Keep watching ..... Fonda
