School

Dear God,
Caroline starts a 2-day-2's program next week. Tonight was our parent orientation. It's both exciting and amazing all at once that she's going to start school. Thank you for the MCC and the people who run it. Thank you for a community that still believes it's important to raise up children in a Christian environment. Thank you for the teachers who have a passion for our little ones. Please let school be a great experience for both me and for CC, and please let it be a place where we both find friends and connections. God I trust that you are guiding our steps Lord - please continue to pave our path that we're heading in a direction you'd choose for us. Thank you God for my family, for this school, and for this day. Please teach me how to live in each one, without fear of those that follow.
Amen.

New Steps

Dear God,
Our move to Raleigh has brought so much change in CC's life. She's done so well adjusting and going with the flow - I wish I had more of that in me. We found out recently that she was accepted to a 2-day preschool for the fall. I'm excited about it and it seems like she is to. My prayer is that the school is a good fit for her, that she enjoys her teachers, that they nurture her and add to her life, and that the time we spend apart is good for her, that she doesn't resent it or wish to be home. Please God hold my girl in your arms, today and EVERY day Lord. Please remember her and bless her.
Amen.
