Royal Update
July 14, 2023
A Message from the Principal
These were all MY questions at the beginning of this week. It feels like there are so many questions but very few answers. (FYI - All of the answers to my questions above will be answered somewhere in this Update.) I can't turn my brain off, and I'm constantly trying to problem solve and think creatively...did I get enough postings out? Why hasn't anyone expressed interest in teaching here? More questions...all still mine. I know you have valid questions, too.
I want to pass on some encouragement. As I have been sitting at my desk these past two weeks, and maybe shed a tear once or twice, I continue to come back to a Bible verse that hit me in the face when I needed it most. Exodus 14:14 (worded differently than above): The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still! I want answers. You want answers. Part of me is thinking that God is actually giving us answers and we have to be okay accepting them. Is it time to move forward and make new plans for these vacancies? I think it is going to have to be very soon. Once decisions are made, families will be notified and given an opportunity to decide what is best for them, and Middle School staff need time to plan and prepare for another change. When will that deadline on a decision be?? I don't know. To be fair to families and staff, within a week or two. I am hanging on to hope, but at a certain point, we have to move forward.
Are we going to be okay? Yes we will, because we trust in God and He will take care of us no matter what. Moving forward, please support our school and each other in both prayer and Christian fellowship. Let's encourage each other with positivity and a Christian outlook. We need to have faith and know that God is leading us where He wants us to be. These are just a few of the many things that make our school so special. In addition, as I heard it stated on KTIS once....when I pray for God to give me patience, He actually gives me opportunities to be patient. There's a difference and it changes my mindset. What other opportunities are we missing out on when we're so stressed out by all of our questions? Be still. God is in control.
I will continue to keep you updated as we move forward. As proof of God being in control and having amazing plans, meet our newest little Royal below! God is good!!
