School Update

Thank you all for all the prayers and messages. It's been a crazy and busy last couple of days. We have made a decision to enroll Moriah in Mid Cities Christian Academy for 6th grade this coming school year! Tonight was back to school night with sno cones and Hawaiian donuts.

Over the weekend, it all of a sudden became clear to me that I really needed to have a plan for Moriah for the new school year. With all the stuff going on with me, I have just not had the energy, time or mental capacity to deal with it.

Unfortunately, school has become a sort of bad word to me. Something that has caused me so much heartache, sorrow and even anger, at times. A couple years ago, it was clear to me that I needed to take my kids out of the system they were in but it has been a long journey to figure out where to go from there. Josiah finished his senior year this summer. Elijah has settled in to his online program and it gives him the flexibility to travel with hockey. So, that just left Moriah. I have never really felt led to homeschool but was doing it out of necessity. I have her on a waiting list for a charter school in Dallas but it was clear she wasn't going to make the cut. I have felt very lost and hopeless about the whole situation. Especially since I will be starting my chemo treatments soon and don't know what shape I'll be in for the next few months. And she deserves so much more.

Just at the perfect time, as He does, God arranged for us to learn about this small Christian school and worked it out so Moriah will be able to attend this fall. It definitely will be an adjustment and we are still trusting on God for things like finances, but I am trusting that this is His will for her and that she is going to learn and grow so much this year!

Funnily enough, I also went to Christian school for 6th-8th grades. It was Metuchen Christian Academy (MCA). Mid Cities reminds me SO much of the school I went to. Small, combined classes and even the same curriculum! I have been reminded of so many great times I had so long ago in my own journey! I am so thankful that God has provided this answer to prayer and am looking forward to seeing how He uses it for His glory!
