Day of Dread


The day that I have dreaded for six and a half years is only 4 days away...the first day of school. It hasn't snuck up on me because I have known it was coming; and I haven't just known it was coming, I've dreaded it's coming. I am not shocked that it is here, but I wish it was still six and half years away. Now when I ask "Where did that little, bow-legged chubby faced baby go?" I can answer, "He grew up and went to school" Oh my heart...

Looks like you changed your mind again. No homeschooling this year? We were looking forward to fieldtrips with the Lohrers.

Amanda...I love that your heart is true! He is the vine and you are the branch....YOU ARE CONNECTED to the flow of His love. Looking at how God made each of your children unique and how He has a plan for all of them takes courage to make action. You and I both know that if we move in a direction and need re-direction later, His love is tooooo Huge to let us continue in error. So I say KEEP ,moving with the flow....you are being obedient and it is AWESOME to watch!
Who knows the plan God has for Lucas to SHINE that HUGE God light he has in his heart to others while he is at school!
Walk on my friend!

I remember that bow-legged baby coming to visit me, and it really wasn't that long ago. Now I understand why moms always slip into "my baby" when they talk about their 30 year old! Maybe we won't be that bad, Amanda, but for the next few years at least we have a free pass to say and think that. :)
Love you!

Hey SWEET friend -
I totally know what you mean and I know how HARD this has been for you! I have been thinking about you - I know we are playing tag it seems ... I had to hold back the SOBBING (not kidding) when I drove Bella to 1st grade this Tuesday! I finally told myself I had to pull it together for her, otherwise she has would have been a mess! Full time school ... SO hard on my mommy heart!
BLESSINGS friend! Know I'm thinking of you!
