I wanted to jump on here very quickly to tell you a few things....
Yesterday was my first day at my new job. I was pretty much in meetings all day and bombarded with information. It was all pretty overwhelming, but such a blessing. All of it made me fall more and more in love with the school my girls attend. I really cannot express that in a couple of sentences, but about 10:30am yesterday morning, I was so overwhelmed with God and his love for me and my family that I thought I may burst. And burst I did come lunchtime when I sat in my car with a McDonalds happy meal and cried like a baby.
I will confess that tears were in part that I missed my girls tremendously and uttered a few times, "are you sure, Lord? do you really want me to do this?" Silly to most people, but HUGE to me. I've never had to leave my girls at the door and say, "Mommy's going to work". Again, silly to most people, but God knows my heart and it was HARD for me. But, they will be with me when school starts next Thursday, so I'm looking forward to that.
Change. Part of growing up, I guess.
I also wanted to say that I am NOT ignoring all the wonderful comments and emails a lot of you are leaving me saying you are praying for me and my family this week. For some odd reason, blogger isn't letting me respond to those comments/emails. Please know from the bottom of my heart how grateful I am that you would take the time to lift my family to the Father in prayer. Thank you, thank you! I feel them!
I love this blog community and the blessing it is.
Have a great weekend!

Have you thought about doing an online seminary? I just saw a tweet about free tuition for the Sept term at Rockbridge Seminary. Well, when I clicked over, I realized it's the seminary started by a man who was on staff at our church. From what I've heard, it's a wonderful seminary that's growing by leaps and bounds. Anyway, thought I'd send you the link and let you know about it.

Oops, somehow I commented on this new post and not the one you mentioned the seminary on! Sorry about that.
Hope that you and the girls adjust to all the changes! I know how hard it is. :)
I have been going through that same thing--leaving my kids to "work". It is the hardest thing. Mine is only one day a week, so it's not as bad as it could be! Hope you have a great weekend!
So glad that your day went well!!!
