I took this picture on the campus of Native American Christian Academy during it's spring break. The three crosses sit on top of a hill on the West side of campus. From the top of the hill you can see for miles in every direction. It's a great place to reflect and pray. I sat there yesterday thinking about all that is happening in our country and in the world. This virus is causing closures of businesses and schools and causing a major pause on life as we know it. There are so many uncertainties and many think it'll only be a matter of time before a majority of the world has the virus. When will schools be open again? When will our campus be greeted with its students and life be returned back to normal? As I sat there, I was reminded of this song. In fact it'd been in my head a large majority of the week. "Through it all, it is well." How can something like this "be well with my soul?" I was reminded of the story behind the original song "It is well" by Horatio Spafford. Horatio Spafford was a successful businessman, married with four daughters. He lost nearly everything, his business, his daughters and while he was traveling to reunite with his wife he wrote this song. Both songs the original hymn, and the It is Well by Bethel Music remind us that through whatever tomorrow brings it can be well with our souls because God is with us through it.
This time brings many uncertainties for everyone. As you continue to pray for our country remember Native American Christian Academy among the other schools you pray for. Pray for all the students and the schools as they figure ways to continue provide education "long distance style learning".
