A Place For Us

This weekend we received a huge answer to prayer. The Christian school in the town where I grew up that my dad taught at for years and my brothers and I went to our whole childhoods, has agreed to take William as a student in their independent studies (ie. supervised home schooling) program whenever we want to enroll him (most likely a year from now).

This is huge for a number of reasons:

-Our solution for this coming year was really a postponement of the decision of what to do for elementary school. We can't keep going to preschool forever, and our tutor informed me a couple weeks ago that this coming year will be her last.

-I've spent the last year and a half researching public and private school options for William, and come up short.

-We can home school with extra help from experienced moms, lots of resources, and overhead from an official organization so the school district won't bother us.

-The school is a scholarship provider, so the program will be paid for and we can benefit from scholarship provider speech, OT, and tutoring (if we can find another tutor- anyone interested?)

-The program includes extracurricular classes twice a month that we may be able to participate in for socialization. These classes are thoroughly Christian and taught by veteran teachers, some of whom are longtime family friends.

-The program goes through high school, so we don't have to research options again in 3 or 5 or 7 years if we don't want to.

-Lily and Abby can participate in the future for a reasonable fee.

-And, probably my favorite, it gives us an excuse to visit my parents twice a month!

Is that incredible or what?! I'm still in awe; it just seems too wonderful to be true.

Thanks so much for all your prayers. We are rejoicing in God's provision!
