Summertime is when much planning and preparation happens. During July, please pray for the Leadership Team: Mary Kiel (Principal), Jerry Smith (Operations Manager) and Tom Spacek (Head of Co-School). Pray that they will practice virtue particularly as they work on strategic planning for the future of Greenhouse. Please pray that all decisions will be shaped by the mind of Christ as revealed in the Scriptures. Also, please join in praying that we will fill several open positions: Performing Arts teacher, Technical Arts teacher, Registrar, and Executive Assistants.

With the Leadership Team in mind, let’s prayerfully consider these proverbs about planning and providence.

Proverbs 16:1-3 (NASB)

The plans of the heart belong to a person,
But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

All the ways of a person are clean in his own sight,
But the Lord examines the motives.

Commit your works to the Lord,
And your plans will be established.

Ponder the significance that plans come from our hearts but the last word comes from the Lord. In what areas of your life might God’s commentary differ from your intentions? Ask the Lord to reveal plans where your clean-seeming motives might need to be re-examined. As creatures, our best planning always calls for a healthy dose of humility before our Creator. What actions (“works”) do you hope to commit to the Lord today? Please pray that each leader at Greenhouse might have a similar posture of heart.
