Good Morning Academy Family and Friends,
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad it in! This week as we walk through Holy Week, may we turn our eyes to Jesus. May we remember that despite knowing the outcome of what was before him, he continued to be obedient to God’s plan. May we rejoice in knowing our heavenly father already sees what is before us and remember the tomb is empty, Goodness…prevails, God prevails and that my friends, is a hope worth leaning into. Happy Holy Week!
