Linda Young

I'm so excited to announce the NEW principal for Zundy Jr. High: Linda Young!! She's really not new to Zundy because she's been our assistant principal for 4 years, and she's great! I'm glad we (the staff) got to give our input on who we wanted, but I'm happier that "downtown" listened to us. Linda has been a wonderful asset to our school as an assistant, and I'm sure she'll even be better as a principal.

School is Finally Out

School is finally out, and I'm so glad about it! Don't get me wrong....I enjoy what I do, but I really need a break! Everyone needs a time to kick back, rest, and relax.

May is always a special month for me because of all the graduations. It's really neat to see kids in this day and time finish highschool. So many kids fall between the cracks and don't finish their education. It's sad to see this happen, and my heart goes out to them.
Friday night, after graduation, Harden and I went to Lori and John's house to help celebrate Jessica Parker and Michael's (her boyfriend) graduation. It was so much fun watching their excitement and being with friends!

Harden & I then had the priviledge to go to Rider's graduation on Saturday evening. I was thrilled to see how many kids that I've taught in the past graduate that night. We also enjoyed watching "our" church kids graduate as well. We are very happy and proud of their accomplishments!

We, then, went to the Day's Inn for Alysha's graduation reception. We had so much fun that night watching Alysha celebrate her "big" day.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of these kids as they embark on a new journey in their life.

Chad Brewster

It's with deep regret and a sad heart that knowing next year Chad Brewster will no longer be my principal. We found out today that he was offered the position as the "Old High" principal, and he accepted. I don't know...maybe I'm just being a little selfish, but Chad is the best principal I've ever had, and I sure hate to lose him! He has many talents and skills as an educator and working with people. Not everyone is cut out to be a principal, but trust me when I tell you.....Chad is! Zundy will certainly miss him, but I do wish him the very best.

You see, he's working on his PHD to become a school superintendent, and the requirements to be one is that he has to have at least 4 years as a junior high principal and 4 years as a highschool principal, so this is just a stepping stone in fulfilling his dreams. I know this is a new chapter in his life, but if anyone is able to accomplish the job, Chad can.

Please pray that God will send Zundy an incredible principal. It's pretty scary facing the unknown.

Campmeeting in Wichita Falls

I've got to say that yesterdays services were better than any campmeeting I've ever gone to!! Many souls are being baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. It's soooo exciting to see the harvest that God is bringing in!! I've enjoyed the Cooks being here with us, and his enthusiasm for outreach is contagious!

This Sunday is Community Day, and I'm looking forward to seeing and meeting a lot of new friends.

I would also like to wish our fabulous pastor's wife, Sis. Karla, and very HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many more to come!! Have a great week !

Spring Break

Spring Break has now oficially begun!! I'm soooo excited to have some time off and have some R&R. I was going to Florida to visit my mom, but I'm just too tired. The thought of rushing around and racing through an airport makes me even more tired, so I decided to stay home this year and RELAX!! For all our kids and teachers..... have a safe and relaxing spring break!

March Impact

During the month of March, Life Tabernacle will be "marching" on to big and better things for our city! We just completed a double-hitter concerning our preperation for the harvest that God is going to give us. This past week we went into a 24 hour prayer time and a technology fast. I can't say the fast was easy, but it did me good to put my flesh under subjection!! We have other types of fast before us, and as our wonderful pastor told us.... we will be a better person for it.

I'm excited to have the Cooks with us for the next several weeks, and I'm looking forward to seeing what God has in store for Wichita Falls! I know it's God's will for this city to be saved and on their way to Heaven.
