Wow!
There's quite a bit of excitement at our house tonight.
The first day of school is tomorrow.
Now, the first day of any school year is exciting, but this is our first year of what my children would define as "real" school (evidently, five years of classical Christian education at home doesn't "count", but that's another rant for another day.
Tomorrow, my husband and I "screw our courage to the sticking place" and trust that the Lord has placed our charges in the right place, and that they will make choices while away from us that honor Him. It's a tall order.
(Do you sense a "but..." coming here? There is one.)
But God is so faithful.
Tonight during family worship, Princess Piggy truly became royalty. With tears in her eyes, a breaking voice, and a sweet childlike prayer (that did an amazing job of covering all necessary theological bases!), she asked Jesus into her heart. Now she's not just my daughter, she's His.
It's so much easier to let her go tomorrow knowing that she has a better Guide, Teacher and Protector than mommy and daddy could ever hope to be.
And as wonderful as the prospect of a new school is, that is something to truly be excited about.

How exciting!!!!!!!!!
So wonderful to hear. Please know that we are praying for all of you today.
How very exciting!! Woo hoo.
I do need to ask what school starts in July?? Just curious.
It's a charter school with a modified year-round schedule. We get loads of nice breaks every six weeks or so...and I live in Arizona, and it's too darn hot to do anything but school right now. Even when we homeschooled, I started in July, so we're very used to it.
