Planning Ahead

Spring is here, and that usually means change.  The grass is growing again, which means we have start mowing again.  The flowers are budding, which means it's a good time to catch up on landscaping.  The weather is nice, so it's a great time to head outdoors rather than staying couped up indoors as we have through the winter months.  The days are getting longer and it's daylight saving time, so we can enjoy getting more accomplished in the evenings.  Change can be good!

Life is also complete with balance, which means that, while some change is beneficial, some things must remain consistent.  If everything changed all the time our lives would be chaos.  Consistency is good in most areas of life.  What if your job responsibilities changed every day?  Or you had to find a new place to live each evening?  Obviously such senarios are lucicrous.

However, there are those who seem to thrive on chaos and constant change.   They move from one job, relationship, or even location with seemingly frequent regularity.  Individuals and families alike are kept on edge because they are never sure of their next step.  Mistrust soon develops, which further contributes to instability. 

Fortunately, there are options for stability in life.  Jesus Christ Himself will not change.  He has begun a good work in each of us who know Him as Savior, and He promises to complete it (Phil. 1:6).  I believe one of the avenues He uses to reach young people today is the Christian school.  Children and young adults alike are taught scriptural principles upon which they can build their lives and prepare for their future.

I trust that as you and your family prepare for next school year you will keep SHCA in your plans.  Many of you have joined us this year while many more of you have been here for years.  We look forward to continuing on with you in your child's education.  Be sure to enroll quickly as many classes are indeed filling up.  In fact, we have just been approved to open a third section of K5 due to the fact that the existing classes are already full!  Come by the office to turn in your paperwork so can be sure to save your child's seat!

Now, I need to head outdoors and get caught up on the yard!
