This weeks "2 Words" theme is "LET GO."
It's easy to get bogged down by past mistakes and things that you feel are holding you back. We can do tons of good, but it seems that people only focus on the one mistake we made. There is a fear in letting go of this because of our emotions. We allow our pride to get in the way of letting go. When you grip onto control too hard, what you think you are controlling, begins to control you.
Where you focus, you will finish. Success is not final; failure is not fatal.
What are you holding on to?

KHS Message:
We would like to remind students that there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow in observance of Labor Day. Have a wonderful and relaxing day off! See you Tuesday!
This week's 2Words are "KNOCK, KNOCK."
Bro. Cory Holley and Coach Mackey brought a challenge to us yesterday.
Opportunity is knocking...will you view moments as a waste of time OR will you make every minute and every moment matter?? Opportunity is not a LUMP "right place at the right time" thing.
It is E V E R Y DAY.
It is E V E R Y W H E R E.
But in order to hear opportunity knocking, you MUST do the work to build the doors in your life for the knock to happen! Mere access to opportunities does not build success. Build success by taking action with those opportunities.
The first T H I R T Y minutes of the day determine the rest of your day.
Build doors of relationship in your life. Talk to everyone like they are valued, so that more opportunity may knock!
What will you do?

"MOST VALUABLE"
Yesterday, Bro. Cory Holley, youth pastor at Wheeler Grove Baptist Church, helped encourage us through this week's TWO WORDS focus, "Most Valuable."
Who is the most valuable person in your life? Our actions would suggest that YOU are the most valuable person in your life. When we are our own most valuable person, we become consumed with conceit. We don't celebrate others' successes. We must erase selfish ambition from our lives.
When we begin to treat OTHERS as the most valuable person in our lives, we begin to lift others up, and success is achieved. "Don't aspire to be the best ON the team; aspire to be the best FOR the team." What will you choose?
