Israel, New Job, and Change

Phew! It's been a looong time since I've written on this! Honestly, I'm not very good at keeping up with it, but will try:) This picture is of my family in Israel. We were blessed to serve with e3 Partners ministry this past August. I would love to tell you more!

Well, a lot has changed in my life this past year. I ended with EDGE Corps this summer, and am thankful for everything God taught me. He is SO faithful, and I learned what it is to disciple others and long to continue to have opportunities to disciple students. I began as the 7-12 Choral Director at Des Moines Christian School in the fall. This has been a whirlwind! I am teaching 7-8 choir, 9-12 choir, Victory (a select a cappella ensemble), JH & HS Showchoir. It's also a musical year, so we are doing The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in a couple weeks. This is the first year that I have honestly felt out of control, in over my head, and that I have had to fully rely on His strength! He alone has been my strength through the flurry of activities, concerts, and rehearsals. I firmly believe through much prayer and seeking Him that He has called me to be at DMCS and I am thankful for His provision of a job in my field. God is faithful.

This has been a tough year for my family overall. A lot of transition and personal struggles, but I am clinging to the following verse:

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

Even though things may be hard and difficult in my family right now, we can trust that God is working all things together for our good. I pray to continue to love Him and be faithful to Him. If you think of it, please pray for us. If you want to know more details, I would love to speak with you personally:) I pray God blesses you, and that you know the fullness of His love for you this day!

In Christ,

Sarah Ann
