SONHAVEN

PUBLISHED IN NOBLE HOUSE ANTHOLOGIES OF GREAT POETS-
GREAT BRITAIN COPYRIGHTED 2003
THERE IS A HAVEN IN HIS HANDS,
A HARBOR OF GREAT PEACE.
A REFUGE WHERE MY SOUL CAN REST,
A COVE WHERE ALL STORMS CEASE.
AN INLET WHERE MY HEART IS STILL,
AN ISLE CUPPED IN HIS PALM,
AN ATOLL WHERE I MEET WITH HIM,
AND KNOW THE SPIRIT'S CALM.
THERE IS A HARBOR- IT IS HE,
THE WALKER OF THE WAVES!
THE ONE WHO SPEAKS TO ALL LIFE'S STORMS,
"SONHAVEN", HE WHO SAVES!
HELD IN HIS HANDS--MY LIFE AT REST,
THOUGH STORMS RAGE ALL AROUND,
A HAVEN IS MY LORD, JESUS,
SOUL-PEACE IN HIM I'VE FOUND.
THE WINDS HAVE HOWLED-I'VE HEARD THEIR ROAR,
BUT MY LIFE IS NOW BLESSED!
THE STORM HE STILLED TO A WHISPER,
"SONHAVEN" I HAVE REST!

GRADUATES ARE PREPARED TO FACE THE CHALLENGES OF ADULTHOOD.
THOUGH SENT OUT INTO THE ARMS OF THE WORLD... THEY ARE HELD SAFELY IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD. GRADUATES IN THE PAST TEN YEARS HAVE GRADUATED FROM SOME OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE U.S. AND THE WORLD: OXFORD, STANFORD, NOTRE DAME, MARQUETTE SCHOOL OF LAW, GEORGETOWN AND GORDON TO NAME A FEW. THEY SERVE IN THE MILITARY AS OFFICERS, ONE HOLDS A DOCTORATE, ANOTHER IS AN EMERGENCY TRAUMA NURSE AT TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL IN FLORIDA.
|
NO MATTER WHAT THE MINISTRY AT SONHAVEN OUR VISION IS TO REACH EACH INDIVIDUAL HEART. AMANDA IS ONE OF OUR GRADUATES. HERE SHE MODELS A JAPANESE KIMONO FROM OUR JAPANESE LANGUAGE CLASS.
|
AT SONHAVEN EACH ONE IS TAUGHT TO REACH OUT TO ANOTHER. WHETHER AN OLDER STUDENT IS HELPING A YOUNGER STUDENT, WHETHER A PARENT OR GRANDPARENT IS HELPING IN THE CLASSROOM OR ON FIELD TRIPS, WHETHER THE HILTS ARE COUNSELING OR TEACHING...EACH LIFE IS TAUGHT TO BE HIS HANDS EXTENDED. HANDS ON LEARNING AND OUTSIDE INTERACTION ENCOURAGE LIVES TO GROW. OUR PRECIOUS STUDENTS THRIVE ON A LOVING ENVIRONMENT.
