Finding Hope In Our Lord

Lauren Daigle - Trust In You (Live)

Trust In You (Lauren Daigle)

Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what You see
I've tried to win this war, I confess
My hands are weary, I need Your rest
Mighty warrior, King of the fight
No matter what I face, You're by my side

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers


As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You

Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings
There's not a day ahead You have not seen
So in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want, Lord, and nothing less

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You


I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You
I will trust in You

You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There's not a place where I'll go
You've not already stood

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You


I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
I will trust in You

3rd Grade

Would You Have Quit?

7th-graders examined a series of documents and activities
showcasing the conditions of soldiers at Valley Forge during the
Revolutionary War. One activity included taping off the size of a hut
and laying the number of “full-grown men” that would be expected to
live in the same quarters. To end, students wrote their answer and
explanation to the final prompt: Had you been a soldier at Valley
Forge, would you have quit?
Sixth and Seventh Graders are featured here carving their printing plates for our Japanese textile design project. They are carving the negative areas away, leaving the positive areas to be printed like a stamp. We will then print it repetitively on colored paper to imitate a Japanese textile design.
