Message from Donn Start, Principal West Valley Campus

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. (Proverbs 3:3 NIV)

How you choose to think will not only affect what you expect from life, but what you do and become for God. That means your thoughts determine how you'll respond to stresses at home, challenges at work, and whatever dissatisfaction you might feel in your present circumstances.

As Christian educators getting ready for school each day, I encourage each of us to wear an attitude that we aren’t just preparing for a day at work, but rather that we are preparing to make critical contributions to the kingdom of God. Getting up each morning knowing that God will find ways to use me for His kingdom is so much easier than getting up in the morning for the purpose of making or selling widgets for some corporation. Praise Jesus for the special opportunity of making a difference in the lives of people that God loves.
