Focus on
BIBLE
Here we are on the cusp of an ending school year when life
throws us a curve-ball! These are perilous times I hear many
passerbyers say, and this is true, but one thing I do know, and
that is GOD is in control! In this year of 2020, we have had
many changes, and journeys that we have embarked. Such as
the ending of one Co-op, that has been in operation for more
than three decades to the birth of a new one, that is being led
by seasoned teachers and veteran homeschoolers. This is an
amazing transition! FACET took on this challenge, and if there
was any fear, it was replaced with enthusiasm.
When we got the word that area schools were closing, FEAST
Co-op followed in suit. We didn’t collapse into a panic but
found solutions. We are homeschoolers, after all, and this is what
we do! It is very encouraging to know that as Christians, we can
always stand on the faith of GOD’s WORD to pull us through
even in the darkest hour. Many times it is through adverse
situations and tragedies that we find a strength that we didn’t
know we had. Yes, we’ve had Y2K, 911, and now COVID-19.
This too shall pass, and we’ll learn a little more about ourselves.
Our students still have the ability to learn, move on to the next
grade level, graduate high school, and move on to college.
This occurrence will be another event for the history books. As
we continue to work through all the necessary changes, we
ask that you extend as much grace as you possibly can. Let’s
continue to work together as a family as we look forward to the
next school year. Things may not always work out the way we
plan, but GOD always has bigger plans.
Thank you for the LOVE and Support that you have shown Rosie
and me. It has been a privilege and joy to serve as your Co-op
Coordinators this school year!

Finally, “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD’
and HE shall give thee the desire of thine heart. Commit thy way unto
the LORD; trust also in Him; and HE shall bring it to pass.”
Psalm 36:3-5
