EIC Week

We are right in the middle of the 4th week, facing the daunting Excellence in Communications! Encouragement is at it's peak during this week. Notes are going back and forth, Wisdom Searches are about fear and trusting God, and everyone is quick to come alongside another and say, "Just do your best; Christ will be your strength!" It's wonderful to be able to lift each other up and look to Christ as we are stretched academically.

Miss Patricia Ballmann joined us last Monday to begin instruction in geography, English, vocabulary, grammar, history, and Bible. She truly has a heart for seeing every young lady that comes through EXCEL leave with the skills to be an excellent communicator of Christ's truth.

Everyone is looking forward to the final exam this Friday and the home visit day this Saturday, though for very different reasons. Local families will take the girls out by teams on Saturday to go shopping or to just relax after such a busy, challenging week.

Everyone seems to be studying hard and applying themselves to knowledge. They are learning character lessons for a lifetime.
