First of all, I love the concept of your blog carnival! I’m excited that I had a somewhat thoughtful post to link up. Hopefully in the future my posts will be more thoughtful.

In regard to the schooling situation, you are so right that God is in control and wants things to happen in His timing. That is so hard sometimes, but I know in my life that I have grown so much in the Lord during times of waiting.

I don’t know if you have explored the option of the A Beka Academy or not. We are using the A Beka curriculum and love it. With their Academy option, you send in the child’s grades and they keep records. That way they can get an actual high school diploma (and even attend graduation in FL if you want). The curriculum is quite structured and has good lesson plans in the teacher books.

I’m certainly not trying to complicate the situation, but did want to just mention this option in case you didn’t know about it.

Have a great weekend!

I greatly admire the fact that while you are anxious to know of God’s plan you are still patient in knowing it will be revealed in His timing…I have so much to learn in that department and regarding the thoughts and motives in my heart when I’m waiting on Him.

And I admire that you know full well whichever way it goes is the way God wants it to go whether it’s exactly what you and Scott were thinking or slightly different.

Maybe I should drive to MD for your MOPS group….

oh man, my stomach is all in knots for you! i don’t do too well when God’s timing throws me for a loop. i admire you for your patience and trust in Him and you will be rewarded for this. so, here’s a verse that comforts me in the waiting.
“I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27 13&14
i love this one because of the first verse and not the obvious reminder of the second. i love knowing i can be confident that i will see his goodness in my “land of the living”. the here and now. love you!

I’ll be praying for you as you wait. I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering what you had decided about school. This sounds like a great option for you…I pray that it all works out, knowing that in trusting God it will.

Yikes! I would be chewing the ends of my fingers off, along with my fingernails!
