When Tim first got the job at a private school, I was actually not excited. I had always assumed my children would go to public school. The cheapskate in me thought it was ridiculous to pay for something that was already available for free. I also wanted my kids growing up with the world and understanding just how it works. I didn't want them sheltered. Well, you know how parenthood works. Your mind (well at least mine) changes all the time. I have learned to stop making assumptions. They are usually wrong! Addison started going to school with Tim at three years old. She started in the daycare that was attached to the school. This year she is now in Kindergarten. I am just so thankful that God put Tim in this school because I love it!!! I love that she is learning about God daily. She is learning about making good decisions and there is such a focus on the fruits of the spirit. Throughout the day they pray and on Thursday mornings they have chapel. These are things she would not have been around in a public school. I have decided I am just fine with this "sheltering". I am thankful for it in fact. I am thankful that she is receiving such an amazing foundation focused on the important things in life.
Once a month, a class is in charge of chapel and this month was Kindergarten. Tim and I got to attend, even Lilah decided she needed to watch sister too. It is such a neat experience to hear all of the little voices praising God. I got teary eyed just thinking how lucky we are to get to experience school in this setting. It was a blessing to get to be part of it and I am so thankful for the teachers and administration that are helping us to raise this precious child.
