Beginnings

Beginnings are always new, for no two beginnings are exactly alike. Beginnings are gifts, but can also be groundhoggish if they never lead to satisfying endings.  Many of my beginnings are out of my control and many I have started but have never completed. Beginnings to me are glorious and can be quite frustrating.  But I am a child of one who loves to begin each day with a new and abiding dose of overflowing grace.  This grace is poured out from a never-ending source of Life. The Life-giver is always giving me new beginnings and has and is always providing the Way to the ultimate satisfactory finish.  My first beginning and my daily beginnings are Jesus, and my eternal finish and completeness is Jesus.

I am beginning again; beginning a series of blogs with the purpose of giving to others; giving of my story of beginnings.  I was challenged today by my brother, tohu va bohu, to begin blogging again. So with the motive of being a resource to others, I am beginning again.

I hope to give by sharing my story particularly of one of my favorite beginnings, the beginning of Evangel Classical School.  We are about to begin our fourth year, and I have been blessed to serve the families of our school by being its first full-time teacher.  This year we have the blessing of adding another full-time teacher.  So my goal through this series of blogs is to share my story of beginnings at ECS.  I hope to be an encouragement and resource to many over the years.

Here's to beginnings.
