WHO
FOUND
HIS
JOY
AGAIN!!!
Can you feel me smiling and praising God as I type this? I will say we have about 85%of our old Justin back. Praise God! The semester of homeschooling in the peace, calm and quiet of our house has done him wonders and I think it was exactly what he needed. So, we are holding our collective breath and sending him back to school on Monday. My first instinct was to keep him with me the full year. First and foremost because surprisingly(and selfishly) I LOVED having him. I have never had just ONE kid home with me all day since Jordan was born almost 11 years ago....one kid rocks! Justin and I had a blast together these last few months and I was able to share in so many special moments with him and above all, just have the quiet around here to hear his heart and to listen to him without interruption. It was nothing short of amazing. I will never, ever forget this time with him. It is definitely HIS desire to go back. He is ready for the socialization once again and can't wait for P.E. class. Of all that I was able to teach him this year PE was not at the top of my list and he really misses that. Ahh, the little things to us. The big, big things to them.
Though as a side note, let me just tell you. He excelled at the home economics side of things. This boy can make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich! :) This will serve him well come college and Beans, if you are reading this 15 years from now..your welcome buddy....if you run out of peanut butter give me a call and I will FedEx you some.
So it is with both a sad and happy heart that I ask you to cover him in prayer as we try this again. It has been a rough road but we can definitely now see the light....it's a beautiful light.
