When we moved out here my commitment to the boys was to provide some stability. When we found Heritage school I was excited for them that they would finally be able to stay in one school until grade 12. No more being the new student or having to learn your way around a new building. I have kept my promise to them and really feel it is important to continue keeping that promise.
Unfortunately, not all is in my control. Jon has made some choices over the past month that have resulted in his being asked to withdraw from Heritage. It was with heartbreak I watched him walk away from his friends and the familiarity and safety at that school. He will be attending Chestermere middle school this year and changing again next year to go to the Chestermere High.
I am getting a little glimpse of how God's heart breaks as he watches us make poor choices and allows us to face the consequences that follow. How he must want to reach out and change and protect us. But he wants a real relationship with us and that means respecting our choices and loving us in spite of them. Lord help me to do the same for my son.

One of those days
The last 24 hours has not been the best...without going in to detail let me just say that we are all dented and bruised physically, emotionally and mentally. I could cry at any moment yet still carry on with the mundane necessary motions in life cause....well you have to, don't you. And I know it will pass, things will get better, they are certainly not nearly as bad as they could be.... but life hurts, bad things suck.....I am tired
