For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. -Jeremiah 29:11

 

I want to be a pastor just like my daddy, I want to be a policeman and catch bad guys, I want to be a lawyer or a doctor and make lots of money. These are some of the common responses to the question- "What do you want to be when you grow up?" As a child grows and develops into a young man or woman, his or her answer to this question may change a dozen times.

 

As time passes and high school soon draws to a close- many just start to think seriously about the future. The question changes to what do I want to do with my life? Many don't even figure it out until mid way through university or college.

 

 

 

 

The question what do I want to do with my life is ever present in all eighth graders here in Romania. At the end of grade eight every student has to pass a set of exams to enter into high school. Not only do they need to pass, but their score on the tests has a significant impact on which high school each will attend and which kind of career they will work towards.

 

Two children in our care are in grade eight and have just completed these exams. Does it bring relief, heartache, or both? Depends on the scores they received. Praise the Lord, both of our eighth graders passed.

Anton will be entering high school next year and looks forward to becoming a professional firefighter after high school. Pray for Anton to do well in high school, as he looks forward to becoming a fireman. Pray for him spiritually as he enters a new school where he will be bombarded with many worldly attractions, for diligence in his studies, and to not lose focus on his goals.

 

Maria will be able to attend high school, although she may not be able to go to the high school of her choice. Some of her grades were not as high as she would have liked. Her grades will be added into a computer and she will add the schools that she would like to attend. The computer program will choose which schools she is able to attend. From those she can choose if there is more than one. Please pray for Maria to be able to go to the high school of her choice. Pray for her to be diligent in her studies. Pray for her to continue to focus on school and to do her best. Pray that she makes wise choices in choosing a career. Pray for her to continue to draw closer to Him who gave us a hope and a future.

 

Please continue to pray for our children. Thank you for being a part of New Beginnings, and impacting the lives of children here in Romania. Because of you, our children have the opportunity to attend high school and even university.
