“They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.”
| — | Isaiah 40:31 (NABRE) |
If a year ago you had told me by this fall we would be in a new school -- not "new to us" but "new to the planet" I'd have laughed in your face. We planned to be at Notre Dame for a long time, and God laughed and said "Ha!" And here we are...two months into a new school year and in a new school. This is a school that WANTS to exist. We aren't here because we've been around forever -- we are here because a group of parents said, "THIS is the kind of education we want for our kids, and we're going to make it happen." This is a school where Celia and Matthew WANT to go every day. They are thrilled to join activities; they are disappointed the day is over when they go home.
Ten months ago, I would have said it was impossible. SIX months ago, it still seemed little more than a hope and a prayer. But I am so proud to be part of this new school family. The kids are thrilled to be there. We still have a little forgiving to do (PLEASE don't ask Celia how she likes her new school, unless you REALLY want to know!) but that takes time -- we're only human.
Tonight, I'm thankful my children are in a school where they are loved.

Thanks for linking up at Thankful Thursday! It is good to hear that your children like their new school and that they have the opportunity to grow to a Christian school. Definitely something to be thankful for in this country.
