Father
God, it has been two weeks since I first enrolled my son in the online
Christian school. We’ve only had sparse contact with the Director and our son
is still not in school. Public school has begun, and although I know Your Word
tells me not to worry, still, I am feeling intense stress and conflict.
Not
to mention, our normally jovial seven-year-old has begun to act out. Perhaps,
Travis is feeling sad that his friends back home have all started school
without him. He appears to be feeling isolated and homesick.
Sadly,
signs of Your peace gracing our new family home have all but disappeared. Even
those glorious doves that ordinarily follow me around have flown away. The atmosphere has changed from peaceful harmony
to strife. Oh LORD, I’m doing my best to hide the pain. But, behind
closed doors, I am fighting the sudden urge to weep. It is so difficult to not take
back control. Please help me!
Today,
I announced to my husband that I am going to fast and pray until You provide an
answer one way or the other regarding our son’s education. “I’m going to fast
too,” my husband unbelievably replied. We’ll begin our fast tomorrow. It’s hard for me to patiently wait upon You, LORD. But, You are so patient with me! So, I will patiently
wait for You. In Jesus' name. Amen."
