The Lord has a plan for us

MITCH’S CORNER

The school year is officially over. The past several weeks, I have attended multiple banquets and the students in Freestone County have earned some amazing honors this year.

Graduation for Fairfield and Teague are tomorrow Friday, May 24. I want to wish all of the graduates the best in all of their future endeavors. I had the honor of attending the Fairfield scholarship ceremony and they awarded over $1.1 million in scholarships.

There are just a couple more weeks before the Freestone County Fair which will be held June 1015. There will be plenty of fun and events happening all week long for families and friends to enjoy.

I want to thank everyone who encourages me to continue writing my weekly column. Each means a lot to me to know that others are reading and enjoying this weekly column.

This week’s Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11 which is my life verse. It says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

No matter what happens in life, please know that God does have a plan for each and every one of us. There are things that have happened in my life that I don’t understand. No, I don’t have all the answers and I never will. However, I know that my God is in control and will help me through whatever life throws my way.

My wife and I are so thankful it is summer time now. We are looking forward to resting some. It has been a fast and furious school year. We are both ready to slow down a little bit for a while. I’m thankful for all of my students that I have had and I am looking forward to all of the students that I will get to teach next school year when I start my fourteenth year in education.

My prayer for us this week is that we know that the Lord is always with us because he has a plan for each one of us. Until next week, make him famous in all that you do!
