It's where you go when you are upset that counts. Jesus wouldn't have told us to bring Him our burdens if He didn't know there would be times we felt weighted down.<BR/>I'm going to be praying for you. I know that God will give you wisdom and direction in this. He isn't surprised by anything. He already knows the plans He has for you. <BR/>I'm adding this to my prayer list.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-65836563103584607192007-04-18T15:39:00.000-05:002007-04-18T15:39:00.000-05:00Just out of curiosity, have you considered the Cat...Just out of curiosity, have you considered the Catholic schools? My kids and I attend a Baptist church, but the kids go to a Catholic school. Reason being, my husband attended the same school while he was growing up (even though he's not practicing *any* religion at the moment), and he insisted that his kids attend this school. I figured that, in attending a Catholic school, at least they get *some* sort of religious education and God isn't taken out of the picture. Homeschooling wasn't an option for us, as I just don't possess the discipline needed to do it. :-?<BR/><BR/>Praying for you in your move and all the decisions that go along with that! :-?<BR/><BR/><>< MizbooksMizBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495438633928311767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-21400424238963839782007-04-18T15:25:00.000-05:002007-04-18T15:25:00.000-05:00Look up, don't look around.

Thats what causes it, feeling like it's all up to you, and you may just need your husband's help on this. Sounds like with just a bit of input from him, you might be able to sort it out better. In the meantime, don't miss time for devotions every morning where you can tell Him all thats on your mind, knowing He's fully able and willing to do more than we can imagine. He's King of Kings, owns the cattle on thousand hills, so take a deep breath, and look up. And in the meantime I'll be praying for you for some sense of calm and direction. <BR/><BR/>And I'm sorry but any school that limits discounts to a certain level of pastor - not where my kids would attend!Girl Raised in the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589779898471579630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-81730557442518220542007-04-18T11:50:00.000-05:002007-04-18T11:50:00.000-05:00Susie, I would be overwhelmed, too.

It just may be a little bit of a bumpy road getting there and may take longer, but you are doing all of this for your family, and moms (especially moms who trust in God) have an amazing way of working everything out for her family. I can't wait to hear your victory stories!Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397183122566441689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-6025505385898068752007-04-17T13:29:00.000-05:002007-04-17T13:29:00.000-05:00Susie, when I first met you we talking about being...Susie, when I first met you we talking about being real and you are SO real and that is such a gift to all of us. I echo, you are not complaining, you are just reaching out for prayer support and casting it all on Jesus. Exactly what we are called to do. You and yours will not be defeated. "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." I am praying.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-34413650160683649812007-04-17T11:28:00.000-05:002007-04-17T11:28:00.000-05:00Oh Susie,My heart goes out to you.

He is going to make a way for you where there seems to be no way.<BR/><BR/>It takes FAITH to step out and do what you and Skip are doing. The enemy would love to bring upset and confusion...don't allow it. Allow the Lord to settle your heart, and follow after peace.<BR/><BR/>"And let the peace which comes from Christ rule (act as an umpire continually) in you hearts - deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds..." Colossians 3:15 (Amplified Bible)<BR/><BR/>You're in my prayers, girl!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898848282799974114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-74382009919867864852007-04-17T11:03:00.000-05:002007-04-17T11:03:00.000-05:00Susie-I will pray for you today.

I actually have some things to tell you, but cannot right now due to the fact I have got to get out of my pj's and shower so I can take my kids to PE. Reply to this comment, and I'll reply back.<BR/>He will hear you and give you much wisdom! (And He knows better than you what those tears are saying. Let them out, and let the Holy Spirit do His work in you.)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465532203974215571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-75133684570753780922007-04-17T10:48:00.000-05:002007-04-17T10:48:00.000-05:00Susie, for what's it's worth you did not sound lik...Susie, for what's it's worth you did not sound like you were complaining at all. You just sound like someone who is a tad bit overwhelmed with what is on her plate right now and a mom and wife who desperately wants to make the right decision. Nothing wrong with that or for asking for prayer. Admitting your need for God's leading is not complaining. So I'll pray for you.<BR/><BR/>And I'm with you about the homeschooling too. Your reasons were all the ones I had too for not homeschooling. My kids went to Seperate school (Catholic). Yes, it has had it's challenges but God has been there all the way.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.com
