off to school! well, almost...

even from before the time levi was a thought it had always been in my mind that any children brian and i would have would naturally be in a christian school. it was always just kinda a given. perhaps because brian and i are both the product of private schools, or perhaps it's the scary thought of throwing our precious gifts into the world and worldly ways at such a young age that freaked me out. either way, it was just something i thought i knew, would be.

it wasn't until last year when i first started looking into private schools that my mind began to wander allowing me to look into the direction of what the public school system offers. although christian school still seemed like the "better" option to me the reality of thinking about three kids in private schools and the tuitions that go along with it seemed rather unrealistic.

however,
after much discussion between brian and i we both felt that god was laying on our hearts to take the leap of faith (which looking into the future financially, is a huge leap for us) and pursue the path of a christian based education. our hindsight view of our parents and all they sacrificed to give us the gift of a godly, private school education was thankfulness. and we want to do the same for our children.

so, as of 1:30 this afternoon, after our nerve racking interview we have officially started the journey of real school tuition.

levi is all set to enter K4 on august 24th at tabernacle christian school!
i can hardly believe by baby is about to go to school.
8:00am - 3:00pm, monday- friday.

ah! and what is even crazier is that i am about to go uniform shopping!

our children are the greatest gifts god has given to us. our prayer is that one day, all three, free willingly chase after jesus.
we don't want them somewhere where they can't bring up gods name. we want them to be able to speak openly about jesus and all that he has done to bless their lives.

as we creep on through the years i know that god is bigger then any problem that comes our way. i know that my trust is in him to bless us with the means to keep them there. although there will be sacrifices made to do so. i know in the end we will reap the rewards of it.
