Heidi,
I wrote you a long letter this morning and lost it in cyber space (LOL) gosh, it was what I wanted to say to you. I will try again. First thank you. Your friendship blesses me greatly. I am amazed how rich your friendship and dear you are to me. And we have never met Face to face....
Let me back track in my life a bit, to show you where I coming from year and a half ago . I was teaching through a PPS, that turned to an ISP. At first, it was small and Christ friendly. Then the Director went to be with the Lord. He had cancer. Then the School District who never support us in any thing, came to take interest in our program. They became less and less tolerant of our choices as home Educators. Where we once planned our days they had to. Our supplies became Text books. Where we were once Christ centered, the State took interest and it was all about money in their pocket. The time we spent there ,we had built lots of friendships (i thought)..... When things got out of hand with the school requirements , I pulled Savvy out midway fourth grade. She is going into Sixth grade now. Since then no one has kept in touch. It breaks my heart we had invested a lot of time into each others lives. Not just school but field trips, bible studies , prayer groups....Birthdays parties so on. Our hearts had been broken. But I allowed my heart to be hardened and put up my guard.. Not trusting people in the same way Jesus would. The Lord has helped me soften my guard.
When you shared about you and your time getting your Husband home, I was blessed praying for you. I saw God's hand at work. I was missing, Folks. I began to forgive to school ,the friends and I began to except the fact, the Lord is in control and all I need to do is trust in Him. I forgave myself for leaving and not having friends for us to interact with.
Heidi, I pray you stay to your plan with our Lord. He is the only one who is right. You inspire me to hold fast. Thank you for you notes and prayers they mean more than you know.....
Loving you cause you are Christ's love to me, this light has melted my guarded heart thank you
