Ok, last night we went to the Truth Project class. It was great.
Makes me consider what do my actions have to do with my beliefs?
A lot. So, this morning I got up made school lunches. (Like I do every morning with the hope that it is not fruitless labor) Vince went to work. Jordan went to work. Still, girls were in bed. So, contemplating Rich's mother's theory of child rearing, I marched in there and pinched toes and delivered my 100th speech this month.(I should be getting good at it by now) and told them get up and out!
Long story short. They are at school. Today will be a critical point. I reminded them of the mommy eagles who throw there young out of the nest. Ready to catch them if they can't get the flying thing down, and then does it again and again til they get it and fly independently and with such grace.
I pray my children will know how to " soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 My hope is in the Lord and he will renew my strength.
What have you had to do that was really hard, and now you look back and you see the Lord in it?

Beautiful post Karen. I pray the Lord is working. Hmmm....so many hard things, let me think and I'll get back to you.
I've been praying for you. God will give you the strenth you need to see this thing through. I KNOW!! I've had lots of hard things (or things that I thought were hard when I was going through them but now don't look so bad) and God is faithful!
Karen, that must be really hard! I know your family is going through so many changes right now, and none of them are easy.
I'd have to say the hardest time of my life was (1) when mom was dealing with cancer, and (2) PA school. And I can already say that I saw God's faithfulness abound in both. Praying for you!
Rich and I have recently made the difficult decision to put Lauren in the public school system. Sometime you just have to do what is best for your kids despite what you really WANT to do and what others want you to do. I'm sorry you're having to go through all of this...
It WILL get better. Most of the hard things I've had to go through were a direct result of me not being obedient to God in the first place. Yet He is faithful and when I get through it, I love Him even more. God is sovereign!
