My heart hurt really bad today! Don't worry, Rah, I'm not going to be one of your patients anytime soon, atleast I hope not. It was an emotional pain that I felt. As reported earlier, Grace started to school last week. She goes 3 days a week and she is really enjoying it! She has a really sweet teacher who's priority is teaching the kids about Jesus and then ABC's and 123's. There are 9 children in her class, 5 girls and 4 boys. Of course we win the "older parents" award! We've been there and done that and here we go again. Anyway, today was the first day to drop Grace off at "carpool". You see the school that Grace is going to is for K-4 -12, so she goes to school with the big kids. Well, we pull up to the door and a male teacher opens the door for her. Well those of you who know Grace well know that she is often very shy around men that she does not know well. Well she unbuckles and leans over to me and says, "mom, I don't know where to go!" My heart dropped because I knew that she must be nervous, but she did get out like a big girl. I told the nice man, "she's in K-4 and she doesn't know where to go." He took her to a safety patrol who helped her to her class. Of course Bryan pulled the van up far enough to be out of the way, but stopped so that we could see her walk inside! What a big step! She was so brave! How hard it is for parents to entrust their little ones to someone else's care! Wow, that must be how God feels everytime he entrusts us with a new child to raise! And he knows our weaknesses!
Praise be to God for his goodness to us!
