Faith as Small As A Mustard Seed

Jesus talked about the tiniest bit of faith being like one of the largest bushes, the mustard plant. It grows into one of the largest trees that birds nest in; but began with just a tiny mustard seed. He said our faith is like that. Sometimes our faith is so small. If we would just believe and trust in our Lord, He can move mountains. He promises. That's what we are going by with our summer school; mustard seed faith. This faith is tiny, but it's real. This is me sweeping our classroom; the barn. We will teach summer school 3 days per week, from 1:00-4:00 pm, to K and 1st graders.
We printed brochures and put up a web-page. We distributed those brochures at our local post offices, markets, schools, and churches. We made phone calls to many neighbors and friends. We have only one student....my son Garrett. All of us have swept and washed windows. We've carried necessary teaching items out to our barn.
Things are beginning to take shape and are looking more like a school. Jessica hung our alphabet today.
Since Garrett is our only student he gets to be the line leader and use the pointer stick and for alphabet and counting. We still have some junk in the back ground to clean up, which is on the adjenda for this morning.
Victoria, my daughter is one of our teachers, but she is away at camp. We were so happy to have a 9 year old, named Anna come over to help us. She is sweet, enthusiastic, a prayer warrior, and enjoys teaching Garrett.

Anna will be here when Jessica goes away to camp next week. I'm so thankful for you Anna. I gave Anna her official whistle and put her on the payroll.
Here is Jessica filling cups with exactly 20 beans each, for our math problems. We fill 5 containers with sets of eight crayons. Garrett has three teachers; that's a great teacher/student ratio.
Garrett is hopeful that other students will enroll, so it won't be just him all summer. It may sound silly, but we will press on with only one student, my son, for our summer school. Please pray with us to gain more students. We are joyful with or without.

Have a pleasant Wednesday, from Kathi

PS Sharon, Thanks for the use of your hand and photo of the mustard seeds.

"...If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matt. 17:20

We got a little blessing last night in the dark. A Mennonite lady came knocking at my door after we were in bed. She said she might be interested in enrolling her little boy!!!! God is so good.
